    Thank you Jack. I am afraid the subscription owner cannot be changed directly. There are two options:

    1. Make the other account a family organizer at https://family.microsoft.com but it will not serve much of a purpose.
    2. Contact Microsoft support who may be able to transfer the subscription owner.

    Please contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.

     

    Exact steps to reach support:

    • Please go to the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact page.
    • Click Microsoft Office / Windows depending on the issue.
    • Click Get Home Support.
    • Type "Billing" and press Enter.
    • Please click on the "Contact support" button at the bottom.
    • Select the Category for support based on your requirements.

     

    I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you good luck!

    Hi Jack,

    I will help you with this issue.

    Does the account pertain to a Microsoft 365 account which has a family subscription?

    Some more details about the issue will be awesome.

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
