I tried the steps but when i try to log-in as the parent on the childs computer Microsoft is telling me the following: You cant sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead. I believe i am using the correct email as that is how i log-in to Microsoft and also purchased the game for my child with my account. I have been trying this too. From my research, linking accounts is no longer possible on the Microsoft store. I tried adding the second account as another login to my computer, and was able to install the game, but cannot connect it to my account so I have to play from my dad’s account on his log in on my computer. Trying to figure out how to ensure my saves don’t override his saves on his console since we both have to use the same account. Go to the Microsoft Store Click on the three dots and select Library Select the game you want to share for those in your Family Group Click on the three dots next to the Install or Play (depends if you already installed on your current device).
