    Move a child's XBox gamertag from parent's email


    I unwittingly set up an XBox account with a gamertag for my son linked to my MS email address a few years back. Now I want to relocate my son's gamertag from my MS email address so I can set screen time limits (as I can't set them on myself!). I have contacted
    MS, read various articles and have a few ideas about setting up a new alias email as primary, but there is conflicting advice from MS as to whether this will affect my other devices, delete my original MS email address and whether I can then change the new
    email to child status. This must be a common problem. Does anyone have any ideas on just relocating the gamertag? Thanks.

    :)

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do besides creating a new account for your son.

    Even if you add a new sign in alias email for your son, the account will stay an adult account that can not be restricted anymore by a parent account.

    Also, if the current Microsoft Account email you have on your son's account is removed as a login alias, your Microsoft Account will be deleted, causing you to lose access to your OneDrive, and if it's a Hotmail/Outlook address also access to your E-Mails.

    So I'm afraid that creating a new account for your son correctly will enable you to control your son's child account.

    However, this also means, that your son will lose all game progress, as save games and unlocked game items are bound to your account only.

    Hello all,





    As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.

    Dear AnimatorX:

    Thanks very much for your response.

    It's sounding rather bleak in terms of a solution to managing my son's XBox times without losing gamertag information.

    Might you have any ideas at all, on how to manage or even just monitor times the XBox is in use (effectively me seeing how much time it's on)?

    Then at least I could have a discussion if he exceeds his daily limit (which would be under my email).

    Appreciate any help you can give.

    Regards,
