    Transfering a child account from a deceased parent


    My girlfriend purchased an XBOX S for her 16 year old son for Christmas, and we are having trouble getting things up and running.

    Her son's credentials are tied to an account that his father set up, and unfortunately he passed away 4 years ago. We do not want to set up a new account and lose all of the data that is under the child account.

    Without having access to the parent account, how can she gain parental access to this child account? What information will she need?

    :)

    I transferred $110 to my sons account by mistake, how do I reverse the transaction or return the funds?

    you can indeed transfer money from a parental account to a child account, can be done accidentally too, not sure if there is a way to transfer back as child account cannot transfer money.

    Switching accounts

    You can't transfer licenses or content from one account to another.

    The accounts Parent / Child are separate accounts. The parent account just manages the child account.

    The child account will remain a child account until the birth date that was used for that account reaches the age of 18.

    Can't change Microsoft Account

    Okay, I have these three accounts:

    My account (The parent account)

    His account (The child account)

    The alternate account (The one I'm wanting to transfer the child account to)

    XBOX ONE SETTING ADULT TIME LIMITS

    You can create a child account on your current parental account. You can not transfer games, saved progress etc. You can set the parental account to Home Xbox and the child account would have access to the games but not the saved progress.

    It is not Microsofts fault that a child account was not set up.

    Unfortunately you can't change an adult account into a child account and you can transfer items among different accounts. Just make a new child account for your child and associate your account as parental account.
