    Hi

    I’ve 2 questions.

    I bought the game pass for PC with my Xbox account but it’s for my son, how can he access it from his Xbox profile?

    On the PC - how can I change the drive and folder to which the games are downloaded? It is coming up as unknown and when I try to change it in the settings there are no options - the drop menu is blank.

    I think we will also have issues loading the games but haven’t been able to yet

    Thanks.

    :)

    Thanks for the response! We don’t have an Xbox only PC. I bought the pass using my Xbox profile because my son couldn’t- it just said you need a parent to buy so that’s the only way we could find to do it.

    So what we want to do is access the game pass on the same pc but with his profile. Is there no way of family sharing on the pc?

    Go to the windows settings, select the option accounts, click on email and accounts, click on add a Microsoft account, in which case you will add your child's account, as yours must already be logged into the system.

    Now go to the Microsoft Store and log in with the account that has the game pass in it, which in this case is yours. Go to the Xbox app, and log in with your child's account, in this case, their profile.

    *Important it is necessary that your account is logged in the Microsoft store, for the system to be able to understand that you have an active subscription.
