Hi Ellis. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.
You'll have to have your parents do this in the Microsoft Account.
However if you are the Administrator on the PC you can change from a Microsoft Account to a Local Account and remove these restrictions: http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-swi...
You can then reassociate the Microsoft Account on the PC later after the changes are made, or create and add a new Microsoft Account for yourself.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
