Can i change an adult account to a child account. My son has been playing the xbox one under an account that i set up. i want to set up a child account for him but he doesn,t want all his game progress to be lost. Can I set up another adult account for myself
and change his to a child account.

If you're legally an adult in your country (18 or older in the US, for example) you can Promote it to adult status. Here's how:

Ah ha! I think I found the problem. The Xbox was set up to automatically sign my profile in when turned on! I've changed that now so that no one is signed in automatically and I chose the "lock down" setting for my profile.

Now, assuming that one cannot access the settings from a child account, I think, maybe, keep your fingers crossed for me, I've got it.

(someone please burst my bubble right away and tell me if child accounts can access the alternate MAC address settings)

Hello RepairedCrane90,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The account will remain a child account from the moment it is created. A customer can change the birth date of the account, but it will not affect the account's status as a child account. This means that
a
family must be set up with the child account. Once the family has been established, the parent account can change the

privacy settings for the child account. Did you manually change the birth date for the account? Be sure to let us know the results!

thanks for your response!

Unfortunately, the gamertag was set up under my Microsoft account. I originally set up a child Microsoft account for him, but didn't realize that the gamertag he has been using has been linked to mine... and I never set up xbox under his child account;(
