    Converting main account to Child account


    My two sons have been playing xbox on my account, sharing the account, and playing the same games. I now need more control over how long they game and have created two child accounts. Problem is they say they will lose all the gameplay/levels/skins they
    have bought (I have bought!) if they use these new accounts. Is there a way to transfer the gameplay/levels etc to these child accounts? Or possibly create another account for myself and convert my account to a child account, then at least only one will moan.

    :)

    REFERENCE [Mod Removed] ADULT ACCOUNT WHICH CANNOT SIGN INTO FORUMS / HAS SOME AGE RESTRICTIONS?????

    Are you part of a Family Plan for your Gold membership? I know it has been discontinued but Microsoft haven't yet gotten around to converting all of them to individual Gold accounts. The three 'child' accounts in a family plan would be seen by the service
    as child accounts.

    Hey Patyahun,

    To protect your privacy please don't post pictures with your full name on it.

    I would suggest not adding the main account as a child under another account you made, as the main account is the one that said had had the restriction so adding it as a child account will only make it so that the adult account can only change the privacy
    settings for your main account.

    If your main account is an adult account based on age, then you should be able to change your own settings without needed to create another account to manage the main accounts settings.

    That is only required for child accounts.

    If you can, remove your account from the family settings and go to Xbox.com and manage your privacy settings for the main account.

    Let us know the results.

    Hi there, goldenCREEPERS.

    That is indeed accurate that if you created new accounts for your sons to use, they would lose access to game progress, online multiplayer rank, and skins that you purchased.

    There is no way to transfer their game progress or rank to another account.

    As far as digital purchases from the Xbox Store such as skins, there is no way to transfer those to a separate account either.

    However, something you can try is Home Console designation between your account and your son's accounts. If you wish to share digital purchases you made with their accounts,
    you'll want to sign into your account on their Xbox One console and set it as your Home Console. Doing so will share access to digital purchases you made with your sons. However, not all content is eligible to be shared and as we mentioned, game progress wouldn't
    carry over using this method.

    Another thing to make note of is on your account, you can only use one Home Console designation at a time i.e. if your sons each have their own Xbox One console, your account can only have one of those consoles as it's Home Console.

    We hope that made sense and as always, please let us know if you have any additional Xbox questions or concerns regarding this as we'd be happy to assist Converting main account to Child account :)

    If she is on a child account, you would have to create a new online account from scratch. Offline child accounts cannot be converted to Live accounts.
