Answer 1

If your account is classified as a child account due to an incorrect date of birth being entered on your account, it is very hard to change the date of birth.On the link below Microsoft provide the steps to change the date of birth on a Microsoft account, start with the steps in the 'I am an adult, but Microsoft thinks I am a child' section.

Answer 2

Changing the date of birth on a Microsoft account is not possible if the account is classified as a child account. This restriction is in place to prevent children from bypassing family restrictions. You will need to wait until you reach the age of 18 (or the legal age in your country) to make such changes. In the meantime, you can ask your parents or guardians to adjust your privacy and online safety settings through the Microsoft Family website.
