    Can't buy on kids account


    My kids are wanting to buy Minecraft Coins. I have it set to ask me for permission. I got the e-mail to allow the purchase, added money to their accounts, and it won't let me buy the coins. It keeps asking me to add money to allow this purchase or ask for permission. Am I doing something wrong?

    :)

  2. How to buy apps for kids - Windows 10 store devices limits

    Hello,

    I have several devices at home, my kids have accounts on many of them -

    To make it easier to buy apps/games and manage purchases I used to log on to the store on kids accounts - using these instructions -

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-buy-apps-kids

    the issue is that my every logon to the store is being counted as a separate device - one of my PCs occupies 3 slots on this list -

    Sign in to your Microsoft account

    - because I am logged to the store on 3 accounts on that machine (one is mine, and there are two kids accounts)

    So is it the 10 devices limitation in Windows store, or 10 store logons limit?

    Marcin

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Kids user accounts and family settings


    Thanks for the links.

    I want to create the kids family accounts but it forces you to assign /create an email even after selecting no email . then trying to enter something that is similar to their name doesnt work either as i get errors 'part of reserved domain' even when i put total random characters.

    All i want to do is add the existing local kids accounts to the family list but it doesn't let me do that without assigning them an email? Is this correct?

    This new MS stuff sucks its just not that straightforward and they are trying to force you into email accounts when you dont want one.
