How to turn an Xbox 360 offline profile into a gamertag FOR CHILD ACCOUNT

ForfeitLime5 · May 27, 2017

How do you turn an xbox 360 offline CHILD profile into a gamertag? We are unable to change the profile from child to adult so need to transfer it as is. The 'join xbox live' option is not working.

That really, really stinks.

A year later and we (your customers) are still having this issue, yet we can create a new child account, with a new live avatar, but not sync it with a current offline profile??

The 360s had what were called offline profiles.

These are profiles that do not require a MS account these were only available on the 360 on the One they require xbox profiles with MS accounts.

If you never got with the 360 and never set your 360 profile up with a MS account then here is a support article that will instruct you in how to turn the offline profile into an online profile.

If the account is not a child account, you would turn it into an online account following the instructions here However,
it is not possible to turn an offline account into an online child account. Since you've already created an online account that is used on Windows it would already have an Xbox account attached, you would not be able to use that to connect to an offline account
either since it's already an account (hence the information about transferring and merging accounts). So your child would need to either continue using the account she has now, or use the new account that has already been created but she would have to start
over.

You can download her online account to the console so she can use it there as well, but her progress cannot be
moved over from her offline account.

I think the new system of creating child accounts on the web pretty much ensures the child will get a new random Gamertag. This may be a design oversight, but it seems that offline profiles can only be turned into adult Live Accounts, due to a child account's
requirement of online profile creation. Hopefully this gets updated because I think the majority of longtime offline accounts turning Live would be child accounts.
