Creating a new account for my son - Will he lose all his progress?

So, my son has been playing on my account since he was 5. (Probably my first mistake, but didn't want to create an e-mail address for him at the time.) Now that he's 10, I want to create his own Xbox Live account, but I'm afraid he'll lose all the progress
and achievements he's made on games like Fortnite, Lego games, Minecraft, etc. How much will he lose, and is there a way to transfer game progress to a new account?

Thanks!

Region Errors - This content is not available in your region

Trying to solve this for my son. His XBox Live account was originally setup in the USA as he lived in Texas.

He now lives in Vancouver, Canada and is unable to download any paid content. All region settings are correct, his ISP is Shaw Cable.

What gives? I thought about getting him to delete his account and creating a new one but he does not want to lose all of his game achievements.. which I kind of understand.

Thoughts?

 

Moving gamertag to different account

My account which his gamertag is set up on is an adult account. Surely there must be a way of moving Gamertags between accounts?!? I've set up a child account for him but just need to move his gamertag.

Creating a new gamertag or losing the progress on his current one is really not an option.....

 

hey mike

if you make a new account yes he will have to start all achievements over but my SUGGESTION is to give him your account and let him rename it if you want him to keep all the achievemnets etc... progress made over the 5 years and you open a new account.

 

Hey

Unluckly all the progress will remain on your account!

 

Great suggestion! I hadn't thought of that. Can I link my Xbox Live account to a new e-mail/login, and open another account with my e-mail after that?

Thanks for your help!
