Windows 10: Sharing apps family account separate computers

Hi,

Looking for how to share apps with my children.


I have bought a game Minecraft for Windows 10 from my Microsoft Account.

My children have their own computers with their own microsoft accounts.

Their accouts is linked to mine through Microsoft Family.

I find their device at account.microsoft.com/family


But how can I download Minecraft on their computers?


I have googled and it seems it should somehow be possible, but I am running into dead ends.

This should be straightforward, but it seems I need help to figure it out!

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

sharing apps and xbox music with my family

But this will make my messages seen by my daughter. I didn't have this problems with iPhone. iPhone allows to have separate iCloud account and single store. Having 9% of the market share I would suggest Microsoft start to think more about Family needs

 

App sharing in Windows Apps Store

My situation: I have a Microsoft family account with 2 children accounts and linking my wife as another parent.

Simple questions regarding Apps purchasing/sharing rights:

• Can the siblings with children accounts share apps with one another without
  having to re-purchase them?
• Can the parent purchase an app and share the apps with his children without having to re-purchase them?
• Can 2 linked parents in the same family (with 2 separate Microsoft accounts) share apps
  without having to re-purchase them?
• Where does Microsoft post the policies about these concerns. I am sure millions of users are asking the same questions.

I have the exact same questions for apps purchasing in Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, and Windowsphone 8.1.
