    To change from Microsoft 365 Family to Microsoft 365 Personal for renewal, switch to a plan with fewer features:

    1. Sign in to the Subscriptions tab at https://account.microsoft.com/services.
    2. Find the current Microsoft 365 Family subscription and select Manage.
    3. Select Cancel subscription.
    4. Follow the prompts to choose the lower-feature plan.
    5. The current Family subscription continues until it expires.
    6. The subscription then changes to Microsoft 365 Personal at renewal.

    Important details:

    • A switch from Family to Personal is treated as moving to a subscription with fewer features.
    • The change might not happen immediately; it takes effect when the current plan renews.
    • The new plan is not charged until renewal.
    • If the subscription was bought through a third party such as Apple, Google Play, or a retail partner, billing and plan changes must be managed with that provider directly.
    • If a new Microsoft 365 product key was bought from a retailer, it can be redeemed at https://setup.office.com/ using the same Microsoft account, and options for switching the plan will appear.
