Windows 10: How-to share windows apps with family

Hi,


I would be interested in sharing windows 10 store apps with my son. Both of us have and use a Microsoft Account, and I have created a family group. I purchased an app using the store and installed it on my account.

Using my sons account, the app isn't installed - so far so good - but it is also not available for installation through the store.


How can I share the app with my family?

Please help.

Best Regards

Martin

Can't find a purchased app on a family member log on

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

One of the many benefits of having a Microsoft account is a family group, which gives you access to family features and Settings. To share an application on a different account, kindly follow the steps listed below and check if it works:

• Initially, sign in to the child’s account on the computer and login to Microsoft Store using the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the game.
  
• After logging in to Store, under the Microsoft Account you will see the list of
  Purchased Apps which can be installed for the signed in user.
  
• Open Settings and select Your Account, click on
  Sign out option which would return the Store Settings to revert to the user account.
  

Additional Information: You may refer the article on
Sharing Windows 10 Store Apps with your Family for further
information.
