    Changing adult to child


    My son started playing on the xbox before I could figure out everything.

    Now, I need to limit play time, but it seems I can only do this if it's a child account. If I change everything over, will he lose his progress in his games and will he keep the same username?

    Or, can you put a time limit on the adult account?

    :)

    Adult to child Account

    How do we change an adult account to a child account. We tried changing the birthdate, but it still says it is an adult account.

    Changing adult to child

    You would have to create a whole new account for him in order for it to be a child account so you can put the limits on it. Nothing can be transferred between accounts so he would be starting over completely.

    Change his birthday. Remove him from the family and then add him back as a child.

    How can I switch my adult account to a childs account and make a new adult account

    You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.

    Is the account in question a child's or adult's account? If its a child account you may want to change it to an adult account and give it a shot.

    I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
    I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

    You can't exactly change a child account to an adult account until the child has actually turned 18. However, you can change their permissions. You need to log into the adult account, and under family settings, you can change the permissions of your child's
    account.
