    Unable to play games installed on a different profile


    I got my son an Xbox, created my profile, set up his profile, but now, he can't access games from his profile that I have installed under my profile. He also seems to not have access to the memberships I have added under my profile that we got free with
    the purchase of the xbox. I'm not a gamer, so I'm already over spending the time it takes to figure this out, lol. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    Greetings emcfrazier,

    Be sure to designate your Xbox console as "Home Xbox", to do so follow these steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > General >
      Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.
    3. Select Make this my home Xbox to designate the console as your home Xbox.

    This will allow you to share games and content with other people who sign in to it with their profile.

    More information can be found HERE .

    Change gametag

    Unfortunately no, the changing of the gamertag is universal for Xbox games to the profile. If you're unable to change the gamertag due to a time restriction then you'll be unable to have a different display in the games you play.

    Single Console, Family Gold account and shared games?

    Therefore theres no sharing in house with all profiles signed into different consoles with everyone playing different game with all the games used/ installed /licen. on one console with my profile.

    Unable to play Tomb Raider on different profile

    The transfer doesn't take long, but you do have to redownload all the licenses after the transfer. Which is basically redownload all of the content. Since you already have everything downloaded though, the system will only need to redownload the licenses
    so it won't be downloading the entire content file.
