I purchased a copy of Minecraft with my parent account and was told that it could be shared with family members on my PC however I don't see an option to install it on my child account when I login. Can you tell me how I can do this?

    Hi,

    I cannot believe every Microsoft moderator still refering to this 6 year old article and not starting to cry, it was a hopeless user experience 6 years ago, and fun fact, IT STILL IS.

    Today my daughter her minecraft installation 'out of the blue' said "Unlock Full game".

    Tried everything.

    No succes.

    Hello PatrickMulvehill, how are you?

    Yes you can do that! But first, you'll need to set up a family group!

    To do this you must:

    > Access https://family.microsoft.com/

    > Select "Create a family group"

    > Follow the instructions
