    transferring game progress into kids account now that it is set up


    When buying the Xbox One, I was asked to enter a Microsoft account and then I entered my own (adult) Microsoft account. Since then, my child has been using my account but the problem is that I cannot activate the parental control on this account as this
    is an adult one...I have now set up a specific child Microsoft account but my child doesn't want to use it because the progress that he has made already in the game is not in his account. Is there anyway to transfer game progress and purchased items to the
    kids account so I can set the time limits through parental controls without losing the stuff he already has in my account?

    :)

    I have the exact same issue. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as you cannot transfer save game files between profiles.

    What I did with my son was have him start any new games while playing on his profile. When he goes back to Lego Superheroes 2, he logs in with my profile. It will take a while but eventually he will "outgrow" my account.

    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.

    Temps d ecran [Screen time]

    Hello Jean,

    As WPAK stated there is no way to set up the screen time or any of that for an adult account. As for transferring the items be careful with that, if you are wanting to transfer everything like games, dlc, progress they wont transfer.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Trying to change email address on Minecraft account

    I take it I can not transfer the Xbox profile to another Microsoft account? As a parent that set up the game when my kids were young, it should be transferable once the child comes of age.

    So is it possible then to delete gamer tags /Minecraft profiles and restart completely so that they can use their current emails? Or will that screw up my Xbox account?
