    Share apps with child accounts in Windows 10

    How do you share purchased apps with child accounts that have been setup under the parent accounts? I have one child account that seems to be able to download any apps I've purchased under my account. I have another child account that only has the option
    to purchase the app I've already purchased. Is there a way to share my apps I've purchased with the child accounts?

    Child Account Get Greyed Out


    Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

    I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

    On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.
