    Can't Accept New Term/Parental Account Problem

    You will only be able to promote your account once you sign into it.

    So as FullM3ta1Jack3t suggested try to reset the password to the parental account.

    The link in the link in the OP he posted (if that makes any sense) does not work but the one 2 posts down does -

    support.xbox.com/.../forgot-microsoft-account-password


    Try those steps to reset the password, if you are unable to reset it using the online recovery form contact support and they will help you out.

    Hello Vzify,

    When you say you bought from the Microsoft Store, do you mean the Windows Store on your PC or
    Microsoft Store Deutschland Offizielle Website - kostenloser Versand, kostenlose Rückgabe

    If the latter, the Microsoft Store, and you received a physical copy of the Xbox One game, please note that this does not include Xbox Play Anywhere and disc copies do not allow you to play on Windows 10.

    Let us know what the case is and we can work from there.

    Hello Vzify,

    When you say you bought from the Microsoft Store, do you mean the Windows Store on your PC or
    http://microsoftstore.com?

    If the latter, the Microsoft Store, and you received a physical copy of the Xbox One game, please note that this does not include Xbox Play Anywhere and disc copies do not allow you to play on Windows 10.

    Let us know what the case is and we can work from there.

    Why cant I link my Microsoft account to my playstaion minecraft?

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft account only has linked social network accounts, game accounts such as ubsoft, epic games, psn, are done in reverse, that is, the platform account is linked to the microsoft account, and microsoft does not have access accounts owned by other companies.

    In your case, only Playtstation can help in this process since Microsoft does not have access to either the process or the information.

    Cannot log into xbox live account through steam games

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    The most likely thing is that the Live account linked to Steam does not match the data, unfortunately the Microsoft account only has social network accounts linked, game accounts such as ubsoft, epic games, psn, are done in reverse, that is, the platform account is linked to the microsoft account, and microsoft does not have access to accounts owned by other companies.

    In your case, only the Company that owns the account (epc, ubsoft, sony, etc...) can help in this process since microsoft does not have access to either the process or the information.

    Which PlayStation account is linked to my Microsoft account?

    Thank you for the reply. Does that mean that if my Microsoft account is linked to a PlayStation account it will appear on this page?

    There's nothing there anyway, which I think confirms that my Microsoft account is not linked to a PlayStation account.
