Allow Child to play Minecraft with Family Win10

How can I let my child play Minecraft using using their child account setup using Microsoft Family.

I have purchased, downloaded, and installed Minecraft using my (parent) account. Its through my Xbox username.

We do not own a XBox console. Not sure if that matters.

Minecraft is not available under my child's Microsoft account. I don't even see options to allow it in Microsoft Family.

Has anybody successfully set this up for their child?

Minecraft purchase in Windows Store not allowing install on second family user / second computer.

Hi,

Digital game licenses are associated to the Microsoft account used to purchase the game. To download and install the game on the child account, you'll need to sign in to the Windows 10 PC using the child's profile, and then sign in to the Windows Store app
using the parent account. Here are the steps:

• On the Windows 10 PC, sign in using the child's account, and then launch Windows Store.
  
• At the upper part beside the Search box, click the account picture.
• Click the profile, and then click Sign out.
• Click again the user icon next to the search box, and then click Sign in.
• Select Microsoft account.
• Enter the email address and password of the parent account.
• Click Sign in.
• Install the game.

After installing the game, restart the device so that the changes can take effect. Sign in using the child's profile on Windows 10. Access the game and see if it works.

If the child account can't access the game, we suggest checking the privacy settings of the child account. See Set up
family features on Windows 10 for the steps. You'll need to allow the profile to play the game online.

We also recommend checking if the child account is set to allow apps and games. To do so, kindly sign in to this

link using the parent account. See if Block inappropriate apps and games is off.

Check out
Set the right limits for your child. The steps on that page will guide you on the appropriate settings you can use.

We're looking forward to get this issue resolved.

We'll be waiting for your update regarding the status of this issue.
