How to change age of xbox - Xbox LIVE

With a Microsoft Account, once you set your birthdate, it can't be changed. So if you are 18 or older and the age is correct in your account, you need someone with an account that is already old enough to promote your account on the xbox.

According to Microsoft Support it is impossible to change the age on an account after it is set up. The only option is to set up a new account with the correct age.

Create a new profile on your XBOX Live. If you're really set on lying about your son's age online, that's the only way he'll be able to do it. Create a new email address, then create a new profile on XBOX Live with a fake age. He'll be able to play the game on the new profile.

I think this has to do with what email you use and what age you have set on your email account. Try changing the age on your amail account and see if that works other than that i dont think theres another way.

when u 1st get a xbl account its a new account-seperate from your nonlive account

meaning that when you make the XBL account u enter all new info and get a new gamertag so just put that u're 18 or whatevr age u want to put

hope that helps

oh and mak your xbl account an adult one, cause then it'll be a child's account and u can't download any M rating stuff, if u put your age as 17 then when u turn 18 the account will become an adult one

also do it yourself don't have your parents do it 4

Unfortunately it is impossible to change your age on Xbox Live. You set it at the beginning of your registration and agree to the Microsoft Terms that the information you are providing is incorrect.
Your best bet if you want to change/correct your age is to create a new Gamer Tag on Xbox Live.

...This is how Microsoft knows what type of account to create.

From the XBox website:


Managing Xbox LIVE Activity
Xbox LIVE Controls come into play only when you take Xbox 360 online, and they're linked to a child's profile and gamertag. When an Xbox LIVE account is created, the service asks for the member’s age to determine whether to apply Family Settings to that account.
Parents are also required to create or use an existing Windows Live ID. The Windows Live ID is associated with the child’s Xbox LIVE account and protects the settings from being changed later by the child. To change a child’s settings, first select the child’s account name and connect to Xbox LIVE. Once signed in, enter your Windows Live ID password to unlock the settings.
To see these controls, go to My Xbox, open System Settings, then selectFamily Settings, Xbox LIVE Controls.

You'll have to make a new account, because once you set your age on a live account, you won't be able to change it.

Go into the system settings and flick through the family settings. If you signed up with an underaged account, they should have made you attach a parental account. When it asks, just fill in the info for the parent email and change the settings to allow you to do whatever you want. I'm currently trying to figure out how to change the age. You may have to recover your profile but I'm pretty sure you can just change the email address your account is linked with.

If you wanna change the email address linked to your xbox live account, go into the marketplace blade, select account management and there should be something there like windows live ID. Just go in there and put in the details and then the new details. You'll figure it out from here...
