Windows 10: Confused family accounts

Hello,

I set up family accounts for me and my sons. I created also their profiles on my PC. But I am stuck in one point. When I am logged into my account and I am purchasing something I buy it through my sons account and the weird thing is that Microsoft is asking me for PIN before purchase we are using PINs to log in to our accounts and my PIN works to purchase through my sons account. I would like to change it, but I have no idea how. I checked Microsoft store, Xbox, Microsoft account, everywhere my account is logged in, how it is possible to buy through sons account?

Thanky you for your help.

:)

Hi,

To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• As an adult in the family account, sign in with your Microsoft account.
• Under Your family, click
  Remove.
  
• Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
• You will get an email confirmation once the child has been removed from the family.

Note: If you removed a Child account, it will be tagged as an "Orphaned account" and you will need to attach another "Parent account".
