switching from personal to family
both my wife and I have a personal subscription to Microsoft 365.
Would it be advantageous to switch to a family plan? If so, how do we go about switching?
Do one of need to cancel and the other switch and add?
what would happen if both of us just cancel? Are we still able to use the apps? What would we lose?
TIA

Below the advantages of switching from personal to a family plan:
1. Cost Savings: A family plan is often more cost-effective than two individual subscriptions. You can share the subscription with up to six people, each getting their own 1 TB of OneDrive storage.2. Shared Benefits: All members get access to premium Microsoft 365 apps, advanced security features, and more.
3. Convenience: Managing one subscription for the entire family is simpler than handling multiple individual subscriptions.
How to Switch:
1. Purchase the family plan: One of you should purchase the Microsoft 365 Family plan using the same Microsoft account as your current subscription.2. Cancel Personal Subscriptions: The other person should cancel their personal subscription. Make sure to turn off recurring billing to avoid being charged again.
3. Share the family plan: The person who purchased the family plan can invite the other person to join the subscription. This can be done by sending an invitation via email.
