Just purchased a surface pro 6. This device is for my son, but when we open and first setup the device is it better to make an adult account as main?

Son has his own Microsoft email but I would like to make parental controls.

    See https://www.lifewire.com/microsoft-family-safety-parental-controls-4153037
    which should help. Set up your own account first as administrator and then the
    child's account.

    So are children under 16 not allowed to be the main admin/account user for a surface pro?

    It isn't a question of being allowed. You said initially you wanted parental
    controls. You can't have an account under parental controls also be the main
    administrator.
