Windows 10: How to Change Wife's Family Profile from Child to Parent

I added my wife to my Microsoft family account, but she was added as a child rather than a parent. Is there a way to easily change her account to being a parent?


Thanks,

Need help changing DOB on child account

Hi Robert,

If the birth date on a Microsoft account says that it belongs to a child, there are different steps to take in regions such as the United States of America and the Republic of Korea, and other regions that regulate what children can do online. Here is what
to do when you are a parent trying to change your child's birth date:

• Using the parent's Microsoft account, sign in to your
  Family page on the Microsoft account website.
• Select Manage my child's profile info.
• For the child’s account that you want to change, select Edit this child's personal info and then follow the instructions.

For additional help, you may find the instructions to this question by following the links below:

• Change the birthdate on your Microsoft account
• Age verification for parental consent

In the meantime, try removing the account from the family list, then add them back as an adult. Refer to this
link on how to remove members from Microsoft Family.

Let us know if you need further help.
