Key notes

We know that many of you are interested in the new family support features that Microsoft has envisioned for Windows 11, so we’re here with an update.

Even though it has been over a year since Microsoft released Windows 11, the company had not formally published any guidance for those with family features set up who were upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10.

That being said, Microsoft is finally making that amendment earlier today, as the Redmond giant updated its previous Windows 10 upgrade page for family feature setup to now include Windows 11 as well.

And, speaking of Windows 11, maybe you should check out guides onhow to install RSAT on Windows 11, orhow to disable the new context menu on Windows 11.

Previous to this announcement, the support page titledFix family features after Windows 10 upgradesaid that if you had previously set up family features for a child account and then upgraded to Windows 10, there are a few steps you need to take to turn on family settings again.

This means that your child will need to sign in to Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, and then you’ll need to add that account to your family group atfamily.microsoft.com.

You should know that the new page, with the added mention of Windows 11 titledFix family features after Windows10/11 upgrade says:

If you had previously set up family features for a child account and then upgraded to Windows 10/11, there are a few steps you need to take to turn on family settings again. Your child will need to sign in to Windows 10/11 with a Microsoft account, and then you’ll need to add that account to your family group atfamily.microsoft.com.

Without a doubt, this was certainly a long time overdue and perhaps the firm felt the need to do this now as Windows 11 22H2 Moment 2 update will be available to all very soon via Patch Tuesday tomorrow.

Know that there is no change in the set-up process though and involves the Microsoft account (MSA). You can follow the steps in the official guide here on Microsoft’ssite.

Since we’re on the topic of Windows 11, know that Microsoft is thinking ofremoving the Remote Mailslot protocol, and you’ll be able tocreate videos from texts with Microsoft’s ChatGPT-4.
