Windows 10: Transfer money from kids account to parent account within family Microsoft account

My son accidentally loaded his xbox gift card onto the wrong account. Is there a way to transfer the money within our family account?

How to transfer Money from one Microsoft Account to another.

Hi Austin,

Transferring money from one account to another can only be done by a Parent account to a
Child account in a Microsoft Family. If you want to transfer a money to another account, you have to set up a Family account by following the steps on this

link.

After creating a family account, you may go to the child account and click on Add money.

Should you have any other queries, you may reply to this post anytime.

Why use Microsoft account login as an adult in the family?

We have a family computer running Windows 10. My kids use their Microsoft accounts to log in, so that I can use parental controls. I have a Microsoft account too, but is there any reason for me to log in with my Microsoft account instead of using a local account? I can use all the parental controls through a browser regardless of how I'm logged into Windows.

Or to put it another way, will the parental controls work the same if I log in using a local account, as long as the kids log in with their Microsoft accounts?

Hello Haffy, and welcome to Ten Forums.

No worries. The kids won't lose anything when they switch to a Microsoft account so you can make them a child account in your family.

Afterwards, you can add them to your Family online.
