change family subscription to single

Question

I wish to change family subscription to single please do so

Answer 1

You have to cancel the 365 Family subscription and then order a new 365 Personal subscription. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/switch-between-microsoft-365-subscriptions-3fcc1efc-2722-427f-8efa-db94b9b0a36b (the screen shot below is from the article).

Answer 2

Changing from Microsoft 365 Family to Microsoft 365 Personal (single user) is done by switching the subscription plan; it cannot be changed automatically by another party.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Services & subscriptions page and sign in with the Microsoft account that currently has the Microsoft 365 Family subscription: https://account.microsoft.com/services
2. Find the Microsoft 365 Family subscription in the list and select Manage.
3. If the option is available, choose Switch plan or Change and select Microsoft 365 Personal as the new plan. Confirm the change.
   • This switches the subscription type from Family (up to 6 people) to Personal (single user). Remaining subscription time can be extended when switching, as described in the documentation.
4. If there is no direct switch option, turn off recurring billing for the Family subscription, let it expire, and then purchase/activate a Microsoft 365 Personal subscription instead.

Key effects when switching from Family to Personal:

• Subscription can be used by only one person instead of up to six.
• OneDrive storage size per user stays the same, but the number of users decreases.
• Skype minutes per user stay the same, but the number of users decreases.

If the subscription was purchased through a third-party billing partner (such as Apple App Store or Google Play), subscription management (including switching plans) must be done through that partner as described in the switching article.

If a Microsoft 365 Personal product key is applied to an account that currently has Microsoft 365 Family, Microsoft provides a choice to stay on Family or convert to Personal; after choosing Personal, the benefits update accordingly.
