How to take my son xbox account out of my microsoft account and standalone account of his own.

Saved games/progress cannot be transferred to another account. If that saved progress in on your own account there is no way to move it.

When I bought my minor son his first Xbox, I added the Xbox to my account and had my son sign in there to use it. He is now an adult and I want him to set up his own Microsoft account and move his Xbox to his own account. How do we do this??.

You can easily havr him create his own account and log into his xbox.

He will lose access to his saved games and anything linked to your account. They cannot be transferred to another Microsoft account, nor can his gamertag.

He would essentially be starting fresh on his account.

Thanks for the advice.

As myself and my son very likely just play in our PC, not on a console, so may I recap if my understanding is correct l:

1. Claim the game pass key under my own email address in my Microsoft account

2. Through my Microsoft family, my son can share the subscription as my family member

3. Register my xBox account same email as my Microsoft account email which claimed the game pass

4. In my son's laptop, he also create his xbox account using his email address which is the same as his email in my Microsoft family setting

5. In my son's laptop, somewhere in his xBox setting, add my email as the Microsoft store account. I think it is how his xbox account get access into the game pass.

I will try out how the step 5 when I get the game pass key.

In the meantime, is my understanding correct that if my son login his xbox app and I login my xbox app at the same time in our two computers, both of us can play our own games at the same time?

Is there any limit of xbox account that can add my Microsoft store account?

And is there any limit how many of those accounts can play games at the sane time?

Really appreciate your advice

Cheers

It's either give him your account or create a brand new account for him and he start over. Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

Firstly, does anyone know why this is the case? It seems really odd that this is something Microsoft can't do. Secondly, if I give my son my account how do I transfer my 365 subscription? There's probably other things I don't know about that need transferring also?
