    Changing a Microsoft account from an (incorrectly entered) adult birthdate to the correct child's birthdate

    The links provided in the above response pertain to an account which is already setup as a child. That is not my situation.

    My issue is going from an ADULT account to a CHILD account. Currently, the account is setup (incorrectly) as an adult account. I would like to update the birthdate to reflect that this is a child account.

    This is an easy scenario to test:

    • Setup a new Microsoft account with a birthdate that makes you an adult.
    • Log off and then log back in
    • Go to your profile and attempt to change the birth date to make you a child.
    • The system will prevent you from making this change.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi RWagner2

    Thanks for participating in the Microsoft Community. I'm Craig, an Independent Advisor and I'll do my best to help today.

    You can read this:

    How to change a birthdate on a Microsoft account

    For adult accounts (includes most people, in most regions)

    Sign in to Your info on the Microsoft account website.

    Select Edit date of birth.

    Change your birthdate, and select Save.

    For child accounts, or parents changing a child's birthdate

    If your child is above the statutory age (13 in most regions), they’ll need to sign in and update their birthdate using the steps for an adult account. If they're below that age, you can do it for them. Note: If their birthdate incorrectly shows them over the
    statutory age, they need to update it as if it's their correct age by using the steps above for an adult account.

    Using the parent's Microsoft account, sign in to your account on family.microsoft.com.

    At the bottom of the Your family page, select Manage my child's profile info.

    In the Manage permissions page of the child’s account that you want to change, at the right, select Edit this child's personal info and then follow the instructions.

    For help with age verification, see Parental consent and Microsoft child accounts.
