    How can I change to an adult account?


    I can't purchase backwards compatible Xbox 360 games on my Xbox One, and am given the message "Your account cannot make this type of purchase from this Xbox.com. Please complete this transaction from your Xbox". As I will soon no longer have access to my
    Xbox 360 to work around this issue, is there any way to change my account from a teen account to an adult account so I can make these types of purchases?

    :)

    Hey, Covering!

    If you are 18, then the account automatically changes to an adult account on the Xbox One. If you are running into issues with the promotion of a child account to an adult account, you will need to
    contact us via phone or chat support.

    This thread is a bit old. If you need assistance with any other support issue, be sure to post up a new detailed thread so that our community can work on helping you out. Thanks for understanding!

    Change Age in New Dashboard

    [quote user="ArkticZenith"]

    I know but I was wondering with the new dashboard update coming soon maybe they will change it so you can change your age or promote to adult account.

    [/quote]Why should they let you change your age? Can you change your age in real life?

    As for promoting to an adult account. You can promote a child account to an adult account if you are an adult, not a child pretending to be an adult. http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-live/how-to/online-safety

    Parental control settings

    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
