Hello,

I want to change/Immigrate my admin (Adult) account, on
Xbox One, to my son child account, in order to set up screen time and etc...

Thanks!

Cross-platform for child accounts don't work, no matter what settings I set

The cross-platform setting does not enable on a child account.

I have tried several options including:

Account setup as a child in the MS family account and Xbox

Account setup as a child in the MS family account but the Xbox settings all set to adult/unrestricted

Account setup with over 18 Date of Birth in the MS family account but still a Child and the Xbox settings all set to adult/unrestricted

Account setup as Adult in the MS family account and Xbox settings all set to adult/unrestricted

Changing the child account to Adult and Xbox settings all set to adult/unrestricted.

Can someone help me how to set up my kid's accounts so they can play together?

Changing your birthdate under your MS profile doesn't changes your xbox child account into in a xbox adult account. Chances are you still have a child account registered in xbox servers

Adult accounts cannot be made child accounts. Only child accounts can be converted to adult accounts. Not the other way around.

I can't remember 100% but I am sure whoever set up the child account can change it. Like if you made an adult account on the xbox before making the child account that adult account can change wether the child account is a child account or and adult one.
I will just test this out myself now and post how it went

Hi, is your account under parental controls ?

If that's the case then the parental account will need to sign in and change any restrictions on your account.

If that's not the case and your account is an adult account and you also have a child account signed in that has content restrictions set then those restrictions will also affect the adult account until the child account signs out.

You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.

The adult account is and the child account is XIII Whipwreck.

The child account does not appear under the Family while logged into the adult account, but I can see listed as the adult account for XIII Whipwreck while logged in as the child account.

There's some sort of bug where I cannot change the settings and it has restricted buying DLC on the child account. I have no issues on the Xbox 360 with buying off the marketplace, only

off the Xbox One do I have issues

Hey Xwarrior,

Did this account graduate naturally from a child account to an adult account or was there a birthday change attempt? You can change the birthdate to the Microsoft account but it will not change the birthdate that was entered originally to the Xbox profile.

In other words, a child account will remain a child account until it graduates naturally to an adult account. No way around it.
