    Correcting incorrect date of birth


    When I first got a Microsoft system I needed a login for, I created an Outlook account especially for the computer and set the date of birth to 1 November 2013. That was a lie, because I didn't feel like sharing my real date of birth with Microsoft.Unfortunately, my new computer, running on Windows 11, now thinks I'm underage and is being difficult about me downloading certain apps. A scanner app, at the moment.

    Change my date of birth on microsoft profile

    Hi Alex,

    To change the date of birth on your Microsoft Account, you can follow the steps below:

    • Sign in to
      Your info       on the Microsoft account website.
    • Click Edit your personal info.
    • Select the correct date of birth, and then select Save.

    If the birth date on a Microsoft account says that it belongs to a child, there are different steps to take in regions that regulate what children can do online. You can check this
    link for more information.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How to correct date of birth

    I made a mistake when setting up my Nokia Lumia 800, the year of birth going in as 2010 when it should be 1940! As a result, if I try to download an app from "App highlights", I get a message "Sorry you need to do this from your computer because your account
    indicates that you are a child". Could you please tell me how to find and correct the date of birth field. Thank you.

    Wrong date of birth entered on set up.

    Hi Martyn,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with following information.

    • When you say ‘Age/date of birth question on setup’, are you talking about the age/date of birth information requested while setting up a Microsoft account?

    If you’re talking about the date of birth associated with your Microsoft account, you may try the steps listed in the article
    How to change a birthdate on a Microsoft account, to change the same.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,
