I want to change the type of a 'Work Item' in TFS 2010: I entered a Work Item to the Product Backlog (we're using a Scrum template), and then I entered several 'Child' tasks, but I entered them as 'Product Backlog Items'. I should have entered them as 'Tasks'. How can I change them to appear as Tasks – children of the original 'Work Item'.
A previous question: Change TFS Work Item Type
would suggest that this is not simple. Can anyone help?

@PortageMonkey's answer to the question you quote contains pretty much what you need.
So, use this feature to copy them and convert them to tasks at the same time by choosing "task" in the copy dialog. Once the copy is done, flag the original item to "removed".
