    how to change my age and family account

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to change your age on the family account.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To give you a heads up, even if there will be changes on the birthdate the system will still recognize the first birthdate that's on the account.

    Let us give it a try and perform the following troubleshooting steps.

    Please update your birthdate on Microsoft account by signing in here: https://account.microsoft.com

    Go to Your Info > Edit Personal Info.

    Change your birthdate to reflect your actual age. After that, save the changes.

    And then leave the Microsoft family group. To do this, go to Microsoft Family Settings: https://account.microsoft.com/family/windows/co...

    Find your account under Your Family. Click Leave Family Group, get guided that if you are of age, this option should be available.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Hello

    This is because your account is underage. You will need a parent or guardian to add you into a family account and make the changes for you there.

    Keep in mind that the system uses the age you entered when you created the account. While you can change your age anytime after the fact, it won't be recognized as your new age. This is prevent kids from just changing their ages to bypass things.

    The link explaining family accounts and how to create them is here

    Issues connecting battlenet to Xbox account

    If you have to change your online privacy settings and can't this means you're underage and need to be in a family account. If you're already in a family account have your parents make the changes for you. You won't be able to make the changes yourself.
    Keep in mind too that you can't just change your age to bypass things. Once an age is set it's permanent. You can change the age after the fact but it won't be recognized as an older account.

    Cant download rated m content even though I have an adult account and no family or parental settings

    well regardless of what your current windows live id 's age is once set a age of an account cannot be changed

    even by changing the windows live id

    goto my settings

    console settings

    family settings

    if there is family settings there then you have a child account



    goto manage my account on the xbox and see if promote child account is there

    if you are under a family plan you need to create a differnet account for mrated demos
