    Transferring main Xbox profile to a child account


    We set up our xbox account with a single user last year. Now we would like to split it off into parent and child options, but is there any way to make all the current play stats and data become part of a “child” account? They don’t want to lose everything
    from the past year. All i can see to do is “add child” which would start clean, leaving all of their game info in the main parent account.

    :)

    My son cannot purchase a downloadable game

    By design, child accounts of a family pack cannot make purchases. One way you could do this is by buying the MSPs on the main account, transferring them to the child account and then he could buy the game on his account using the points.

    Sorry, but no. Nothing can be transferred between accounts. So of you create a new child account, they will start over.

    Transfer Account Profile to Childs Account

    Hi James,

    You should be able to add this account to your microsoft settings and change the settings once it's added. You won't have to make a new account. You won't be able to transfer his account information but you can make that account set to "My Home Xbox" so
    he can still use the gold membership and games associated with that account here the steps on on

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select System > Settings > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    Do either of the following:

    Select Make this my home Xbox to designate the console as your home Xbox.

    For the account you need to go to Add Family Member add this account to your family see if you can make it a child account.

    If I got anything please let me know so I can adjust
    Hello, thanks for this. It's the Fortnite part that could cause issues as he'd have to start again.

    Is there a way to put screen time lock on an adult account?

    Thanks

    Transfer Account Profile to Childs Account

    Adult accounts can change date of birth but there are complications, like you can't be in charge of a family account with a child account.
    The Microsoft account age can be changed but not the Xbox account age, that is permanent.
