    Changing user account from adult to child on windows 10

    My daughter is listed as an adult and I need to change her to a child. The only way I can see to do that is to delete her adult account and add her as a child account. What are the repercussions of doing that?

    Change user from child to adult

    Change adult birth date to a childs birthdate.

    Hi,



    While you are able to change a child account to an adult account, there is no way that we can change an adult account
    to child account. However, we suggest that you create a new child account as a workaround.



    Let us know if you need further assistance.



    Regards.
