PS4 sub accounts - transfer?

I'm a bit confused and not sure on the best way forward with this:

Looking at getting son a PS4 for Xmas - he currently uses my PS4 and i have set him up a sub account which he has physical and downloaded games and also all his saved progress files.

When he opens his Xmas gift and we start to set up the PS4, how will he be able to access all the stuff he had?

Or can he not?!

Ta!

    Probably a bit late given the day but we had a similar issue. Rightly or wrongly I logged in as a guest user, set the internet connection up & downloaded the latest update. Once it restarted I chose new user which takes you to a log in screen, put in sub account username & password & made it his primary system. His achievements and trophies loaded up but he didn't have any purchased games on my ps4.

    Merry Christmas!
