    Y do I separate my account from my son and his xbox

    Hello Dear User

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are having trouble on separate your account from your son's and his Xbox, and I understand your confusion.

    To separate your Microsoft account from your son's Xbox account, you’ll need to adjust a few settings related to family accounts, permissions, and device management. Here’s how you can do it:

    Remove Your Account from Your Son's Xbox

    If your account is currently signed in on your son’s Xbox, you can remove it from the device. Here’s how:

    1. On the Xbox console:

      Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
    1. Navigate to Profile & System > Settings > Account.
    1. Select Sign-In, Security & Passkey.
    1. Under Account Security, choose Remove accounts.
    1. Find your account in the list, select it, and press Remove.
    This will log you out of the Xbox and remove your account from the device.

    Set Up a Family Group

    If your son is still using your account for family-related features, you’ll need to create a separate Microsoft Family group. This allows you to manage permissions, subscriptions, and purchases in a more controlled way.

    1. Go to the Microsoft Family website:

      On your computer or mobile device, visit Microsoft Family Safety.
    1. Create a Family Group:

      If you don’t have a family group, select Add a family member.

      Add your son’s account by typing in their email address.
    1. You can choose whether to make him an Adult or a Child in the group. If you want to manage his purchases, settings, and subscriptions, set him as a Child.
    2. Manage Permissions:

      Once your son is added, you can manage his access to purchases, content, and even set screen time limits.

      If your son is set up as a child, you can approve or deny purchases, set spending limits, and control which apps and games they can access.
    Remove Your Payment Information

    If your payment information (credit card or PayPal account) is shared between you and your son’s Xbox account, you might want to remove or update it:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account at Microsoft account | Home.
    1. Go to Payment & Billing > Payment options.
    1. From there, you can either remove your payment methods or update them to separate your payments from your son’s Xbox account.
    Check Game Sharing (If Used)

    If you’ve been using Xbox’s Home Xbox feature to share games, you’ll need to adjust this if you no longer want to share your games with your son’s account:

    1. On your Xbox console, go to Settings > Personalization > My Home Xbox.
    1. If your son has set your Xbox as his Home Xbox, you can remove this feature so that games aren’t shared between accounts.

    Please try the above and let me know the results so that I can assist you further.

    Best Regards.

    Xbox games and connections

    Hi,

    My son has historically used my xbox account to sign into games and link with friends. However, I've recently separated from my sons mum and its proving problematic for son to use / sign into my account to play games etc.

    Is there any way of transferring his games, progress and conneections onto his own email/xbox account?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks.

    Forza Horizon 4 PC - I have account, how to add son?

    I purchased Forza Horizon 4 and installed it on my new laptop. I would like to set up an account or profile for my son. I want his progress to be separate from my progress. I already created a Microsoft account by adding family member and creating log in
    for my son.

    Do I need to buy a separate account ($59-99), or can I create a separate profile in some other way so that I don't have to pay a second time?

    Thank you for your help!!

    Gold membership question

    Another quick question.....If I have an additional "adult account" on my Xbox (not a child's account) , one for my wife and older son, do I have to pay for a separate Live account? or does the one Xbox Live account allow me to add everyone in my family and
    for them all to have the separate ability to play Xbox Live with no extra charge? and have separate achievements ...etc.

    I no longer have access to the email account which my son created his Xbox Minecraft account under.

    Hi Geri,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Firstly I can confirm that it is a Microsoft Account. The issue is that the account was created using my ex-husband's Microsoft account, which I can not access.

    I can not legally login into his account and so I want to move all of my son's game profiles off my ex-husband's account to merge onto a new profile. The only way to do this is to be able to access the existing account, which I don't have access to.

    Since my son plays the Xbox and not my ex-husband, my ex-husband left the Xbox with his son when we separated.

    How can I verify that the game accounts on the Xbox belong to my son when they are registered on my husband's Microsoft account. I can't provide order history as I can't access the account to provide it.

    Thank you.
