How do I switch my account from a child account to an adult account?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

If you're already an adult the system should automatically detect that. Let's validate your birthdate first. Please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/profile and make sure that it's correct.

Also, if you're trying to change your settings, you can simply sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings.

You are trying to change an adult account to a child account? While the age of the account is determined by the DOB on said account, we can change the privacy settings for this account to have child-like privileges.
To do this, just navigate to Settings>Privacy & online safety>and make the appropriate changes their.

Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions.

The way this is supposed to be set up is that you have a child account and an adult account. The child account is a separate account but it cannot act independently of the adult account. From the adult account you can set purchasing permissions and even
set a monthly allowance that will not be exceeded. You can also set restrictions on what you child views or sees and how they can pick friends.

The problem is that most of the time when these accounts are set up, parents do not create a child account, they just set up an adult account for the child, and we cannot set permissions on an adult account.

The only thing you can do with an adult account is remove any payment methods and add gift cards to the account as needed. That way when the money is gone its gone.
