    You don't. Once your account is created, the date of birth you put on it is the date of birth you are stuck with.

    Actually you can but I think it depends on where you live.

    You may be able to change the date of birth on your account:

    You are an adult but your account is categorised as a child account

    If you live within the US

    In this case, the date of birth on your account is incorrectly indicating that you're younger than 18 (20 in South Korea and Japan). If you live in the United States, you can correct your date of birth online. Here's how:

    1.In a browser, go to My Account.

    2.If needed, sign in to the Microsoft account you want to change.

    3. Select Your info, and then select Edit your personal info.

    4. Enter your correct date of birth.

    5. Follow the instructions to provide a US credit card as age verification.

    If you live outside the US

    If you live outside the United States and do not have a valid US credit card, or your account is subject to US COPPA restrictions (under 13 years old), follow the instructions at

    You are stuck with the date of birth you've put in when you've first created your account. Yes I noticed you can change it under your Microsoft Account settings, but I guess it depends on which country you live in. Microsoft has offices in New Zealand so
    they automatically full under the jurisdiction of over here too. Under the NZ Privacy Act, citizens over here have the legal right to the correction and update of personal info. But the Microsoft system I think tends to only consider the date you put in. Make
    sure to enter in your date of birth correctly, it can be easy to hit the wrong key. Also be aware of date formats too. Australia and New Zealand go by day/month/year, NOT month/day/year which Americans do. Also in Xbox Terms of Service, if you acquired the
    contract outside of the US, your countries legal rights govern the interpretation of your membership. Lots of companies tend to minimize your legal rights, especially in terms of privacy. But congrats to Microsoft for recognizing other countries rights.

    Hi,

    Like Daft Badger mentions, it is,since not that long ago, possible to change the account date of birth, but it will have quite some steps to get it verified etc.

    The following link will, at the moment of posting, show the exact same steps mentioned by Daft Badger and will have the steps at the section 'Use a browser to update your date of birth' : Why Am I asked for Parental Consent? | Xbox Live

    I can't enable the Fortnite Epic friends list because my age is set wrong.

    You can change the age of your Microsoft account at http://account.live.com but keep in mind that will only change the age of your Microsoft account and not your Xbox account.

    Hello, Susman7896619. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    First, it is important to ask that please refrain from sharing personal information, including email addresses, gamertags, etc.

    As community users, we are not able to enter or check your account information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet.

    That being said, I'm sorry to say, but the servers save the date of birth you originally used to create your account. So, even if you change your birth year, your account will be still considered as a child account.

    If you need to change your privacy settings to use online features, you may want to join to a family group and ask the family organized to enable multi-player features for your account.

    The adult account can add your account by following these steps:

    “Using a web browser, visit family.microsoft.com. Log in to your Family Safety account.

    Click Add a family member.

    Enter a family member’s phone number or email address and click Next.

    Decide family member’s role (member or organizer) and click Next > Invite.

    Note: Invitee will receive a link to join via email. It will prompt them to log in to their Microsoft account to accept and join the family group. If they are under the statutory age, they will also be prompted to request adult consent.”

    Reference link:
    https://support.microsoft.com/accou...ly-group-4a07b974-8103-16ad-6ea2-46549ca19e03

    After that, the adult account can change your privacy settings here:

    https://account.xbox.com/Settings

    I know this is not the kind of answer you were expecting, but your kindness and understanding is appreciated.

    Regards,

    Arturo.
