    Sharing Apps with Family Accounts.


    I purchased Minecraft on my account for my daughter. She now has her own laptop and I set up a separate account/profile for her as a child on my account. Do I really have to pay for Minecraft again on her laptop?

    :)

    You can login to her laptop through the microsoft store with your own account, this will allow you to download the game on her laptop.

    Xbox play anywhere HELP!

    The standard sharing features apply to Xbox Play anywhere, which means, if the Xbox console you're playing on is that family member's "Home Console", then you can play it.

    If you want to play it on a PC, it's a bit more complicated.

    The family member has to make sure, you are a member of the family on
    https://account.microsoft.com/family
    .

    Also, the family member has to have an account on the PC you want to play the game on.

    Then you will have to sign in with your own account on your PC and have the family member sign in with their family account on the Windows Store app under your account.

    There they can then download and install the Play Anywhere game that you want to play which is on their own account.

    The process on how to
    share games and apps within your family on Windows 10 is explained here

    My friend can't add me as friend in minecraft windows 10 edition

    If your friend is redirected to the "manage app privacy settings on Xbox" page, it means that his account is linked to a family group. The the organized of the family group needs to Log in to Xbox settings. Then select the child account's (your friend's account) profile and changed the settings.

    For more insights about the family group, visit Microsoft Family group roles, permissions, and data sharing.

    can two seperate PCs use the same account with game pass? how does it work?

    Hi Nod. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Game Pass can be shared with your family, only on an Xbox console.

    Some people have gotten this working by signing into the Microsoft Store with the account which has the subscription and then signing in to the Xbox app with the other account. This will not work for all games, some require the MS Store and Xbox app account to match.

    Also, note that Game Pass is only supposed to be shared within the family, and giving account details to friends is against Microsoft's ToS.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
