    Assigning a PC to my son's account


    My son just built a gaming laptop and I would like to add some parental controls to it. The problem is that when I look at the devices connected to his account in the family tab on the microsoft site his PC is not listed under his devices, which he is logged into. However when I go to the Devices tab I can see the PC but it is not assigned to any family member. How do I assign this PC to my son? Any and all help is appreciated.

    :)

  3. Minecraft Coins for sons account

    Hi Stephen,

    Buying Minecraft in-game content like coins can only be done on the account where you want to have the coins. For us to properly assist you with your concern, we need to gather more information. Kindly verify the following:

    • Is your son's Minecraft account is associated with your Xbox Live account?
    • Are you getting any error messages when trying to buy coins on your son's profile?
    • Have you tried to sign in your son's account on a different device and try to purchase?

    For additional assistance for in-game concerns, you may also try getting in touch with the game developer.
