Promiting an xbox child account to an adult

Where do I find the Promote Child Account ?

do I have to use an xbox console and can I use the XBOX windows app

?

Hi there,

This can be done on the website through the Adult account associated. Here is a support article with some instructions:

This is a copy/paste from there:

o promote a child account to an adult account

• Sign in to Xbox Live by using the account that you want to change.
• Go to Settings and then select Account.
• Select Promote Child Account.
  Note This option is available only if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached the age of adulthood (18 in the United Kingdom). The legal adult age varies by country and region. The age of an account owner is calculated
  by using the date of birth provided when the account was created. This date cannot be changed. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you created the account, your only option is to create a new account using the correct date of birth.
  
• Follow the on-screen instructions to promote the account.

changing privacy settings to adult doesnt make your account 18

only when you turn 18 will the account lets you be 18

if you are on a family plan then promiting thw account will havr removed you from the plan

Hello PhilipBasgal,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in changing a child account to an adult account. Once an account has been established as a child account, it cannot be changed to an adult account until the child turns
18. The best way to manage the child account is to
add it to a family. This requires an adult account to add the child account to the family. Once the child account has been added to the adult account's family, the child account will be able to access online features. Be sure to let us know the results!
