How do I transfer my gamertag to my son?

If the Microsoft account he is using now is a child account and set up in your family as a child, then you should be able to use parental controls on it without having to set up a new account. But nothing can be transferred between accounts so anything he has done through your Microsoft account cannot be transferred to his.

He would either need to continue using what he has now, but there's no way to turn it into a child account. Or create a brand new account for him so you can use the parental control features, but he will have to start over on the new account.

So he has a microsoft account now, and is set up as my child in our family group. But you are saying there is no way to put that (my) gamertag on his account? Would he be able to use the same gamertag name if I delete that gamertag from my profile?

So just to be clear, the only way for me to be able to use parental controls over him is for him to start over fresh setting up new gamertag?

I had the same problem. I did not do the license transfer properly. this is how I fixed it. I deleted the dlc from my hd and redownloaded it. I was then able to acess DLC I bought on my sons gamertag and him on my Gamertag

Thanks - I've looked at that article but it only tells me how to change the Windows Live ID associated with the gamertag. This would mean my Windows Live ID is associated with my son's gamertag instead of his own Windows Live ID.

What I really need to do is transfer the Windows Live subscription over to my Windows Live ID / XBOX gamertag.

Can someone tell me how to do this please?
