    Adult account listed as child. Child account listed as adult.

    I want to change my child account into my adult account.

    In truth, there is no child. Both accounts are my adult account. I had not a clue when creating accounts or even know I was creating them. Now I know, the email account I've had since before microsoft bought Hotmail, has always been my primary account.
    On an old computer some computer generations ago when microsoft was being excessively obnoxious and insisted on having me "log in", I opened a different account to 'sign in' with. Now I see how totally screwed up things are viewed from microsoft's perspective,
    I thought I ought to fix it before something massively ridiculous and nightmarish happens.

    I don't care that I have and adult and a child account. But the adult account is the one I signed up for arbitrarily several computer generations ago and I've lost the password at least twice and suspect there may even be another email attached to that
    one that I never use. I just want to fix it. If I delete the adult, which is actually the child, I'm confident microsoft could never fix it in my lifetime and I'll be stuck changing the email account I've had since before microsoft bought it in order to
    try to fix something that seems to me to be so simple.

    It isn't about any category. I is microsoft accounts. You're nagging me that I have family, which is how I figured out how screwed up your records about me are.

    Is there hope? I hope that any replies will go to the real adult, which is listed as a child...

    Childs account is listed as an adult

    Due to some trust issues with my son I am looking to place restrictions on his computer. I set myself up as an administrator on his PC. But I see that his Microsoft account is listed as an adult despite the fact that his birthday shows he was born in
    2005. How can I convert his adult account into a child's account? Or if I have to delete his account and sign him up with a new account how can I do that without loosing all of his stuff?
