My kid is using my account and I want to add family

To change the email associated with your account: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no current way to transfer any game progress from one Xbox profile to another.

What you can try to do is if you want to change the email address that your son signs in with the Xbox profile or in other words change the primary account alias to the Microsoft Account.

However, just to be sure if you are using a Microsoft email such as @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, and or @live.com as the steps bellow will permanently delete the email address and you will no longer have access to your emails in which you will not want to
continue.

First, we will want to create a new email address for you son, this will be the new address we will create for him to login to the Xbox profile. To do so, please follow the steps bellow:

1. Sign in to your Microsoft account.
2. Select Your info at the top of the page.
3. Select Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
4. You may be prompted to re-enter your password or enter a code we send to the email address or phone number listed in your account as security information. This lets us know the request is coming from you.
5. Select Add email (create new email address)

When you select 'Add email' you should see an option to create a new Microsoft Account email, this will be with an @outlook.com domain. This will be the new email address that you create for your son to sign in to the account in the future.

Once the email is added as an alias to the account, you should now see the option to make it the primary alias for the account, in which will now make this the main email to sign in to the account. If you would like to then detach your email from the account
so its no longer attached, you should see the option to remove next to your email address.

Once you completed those steps, your email is no longer associated to the account, and when your son goes to sign in to the account he will now use the new email address you created for him in step 5. Essentially this is giving him your Microsoft Account
in another way, however you can still add it to an existing family or if its already apart of one, it will remain. You can change the privacy settings on the account and add a passkey on the account if you would like to prevent any accidental and or unauthorized
purchases and much more by following these guides: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/security/passkey-purchases

Hopefully this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue as above. The credit card is showing when I sign into my kid's Microsoft Account, but it's not showing in on my child's Family account. Why? I don't want to remove the Ask To Buy. But I want to use the credit card and not this bizarre option to buy in $10 increments.

How do I get the credit card I added to my child's Microsoft Account to show up in their Family account? When I click the option to add the credit card in the Family page, it tells me to add it to the kid's Microsoft Account, which...I've already done.

(as a side note: Microsoft's Family account thing is ridiculously convoluted. Please hire some Google employees to fix this. Google Family is SO MUCH EASIER!)

so if I have an existing acount, and want to renew it with a family account, could I renew my account and my wife's account (which we pay monthly) but add my two kids, or would i have to create4 new accounts?

The best way I found to manage my sons account was to create my own account, and then add my son as a child to the FAMILY.

That meant that all the privacy and security settings are done through MY account using the FAMILY options.

A much easier and better way to manage your kids, without having to sign into their account.
