  2. Merging Family accounts

    Hi,

    It's great to keep your family accounts properly for the best experience, especially for family safety. We would suggest removing the existing family accounts to let the user accounts inside it to be added to the other family account. You may refer to this
    link
    Remove members from your Microsoft family for the steps in removing a user account in the family and

    Add members to your Microsoft family for the steps in adding them to an existing family.

    Do get back to us with the results and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to post back.

  3. Microsoft Family

    Hi,

    It could be because of the settings on the Family and Safety feature or the account you're using is added to a Family. With that being said, we suggest that you check if the account that you are using is a part of the
    Family list. To check on it, go to Cortana
    and search for Family Options.



    To remove your account to the Family, you may follow the steps below:

    • Use the Adult account to log in using this link.
    • Click on the Family tab.
    • On the account that you want to remove, click More > Remove from family.
    • Then click Remove to confirm.

    Let us know how it goes and feel free to get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Problems adding a child on the family account

    Hi,

    After your child accepted the invitation, did you have him/her sign in to Windows 10 using the same email address you sent the invitation to?

    That will be the last step in adding your child to your family.

    Kindly refer to the link below.
