Changing my Child's account to his own

when we signed up for Xbox1 years ago my husband logged into Microsoft and my son began his Xbox gaming under that account, the parent account. We do not want him on the parent account. I would ideally like to save his progress and transfer that
to a child’s account. Any ideas?

A parent (adult account) cannot be changed to a child account. Whether an account is an adult or child account is determined by the date of birth entered on the Xbox Live account when it was first created. This date of birth also cannot be changed.

Nothing is transferrable between accounts either so if you did create him his own child account they would unfortunately be starting all over with their save game progress.

still no.

I am not trying to lock them out of my account (although they are using their own account). I am talking about the account settings can be simply changed from child to adult. Every account setting can be changed from within the child account.

hi

is it possible to go to the epic games website and create an epic games account, login with that account on the site and then go into that account and then link that to one of the xbox accounts thats a child account? does the child account not have their
own email address and password? if not then the only way i can think of is to change it so their accounts have their own email address and password so that it can be linked to an epic games account.

Is it your account or his own child account?

If it is your account create an child account and put parental settings on his profile and passcodeyour own profile

Children under 13 isnt supposed to use any console unsupervised

Hi jadehadfield1

Can you just confirm that each child has their own console? This is not clear from your description.

Let's just say do... and in the situation, you only need one Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Child 'A' would have the subscription and would need to make child 'B' console thier home console. Then when child 'B' using his console, he will be sharing child
'A' subscription. Child 'A' will be able to use his own console, as long as they are on-line. The only thing they can't do is that child 'B' will not be able to play on child 'A' console without child 'A' being signed in.

Confusing! I know... I had to read what I wrote twice to make sure it makes sense. 😆

With regards to the items already purchased in their account, as long it was on their own account, this should be fine. Adding their accounts to a family group would not change this.

Hope this helps.
