    Account typo


    When I first built my pc and was setting up a Microsoft account I made a typo in my email address. Now that I cant verify it, it will not let me change my correct email to the primary email.

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Can't verrify account because of Typo

    NeverBuyingAWindowsPhoneAgain........

    Can't verrify verify ccount because of
    MY Typo

    "Hi. I accidentally put in a wrong email adress (typo) as the microsoft account."

    Everything you have said is really only PARTIALLY explained.

    Rather than expend keystrokes getting to the truth here is ONE possible solution,

    ( as you know your FULL situation , you should see a shorter SOLUTION

    CREATE A GMAIL A/C ( CORRECT email adress, remember NO typos allowed)

    as you will see sync that GMAIL a/c to your phone this adds your contact to Gmail ie backs it

    IDK what if any Outlook a/c you currently have or have

    Outlook UPPER LEFT OF just left of OUTLOOK.COM 9 dots in a square

    select PEOPLE

    "Add people to your contact list" and follow the instruction

    short answer Google and then import

    the answers you have been provided with earlier are for specific situations (and one step)

    OK

    Account typo

    microsoft account typo

    I recently bought my laptop, and went through all of the steps to create a microsoft account, and then needed to exchange the laptop and go through the whole process again, and while doing so, made a typo in my email address without realizing, so I now
    have two microsoft accounts, and can't delete the incorrect one, because the account is sending verification codes to an email account that doesn't exist, and when I try to change the email address on the incorrect account, it tells me that it can't because
    that email address already exists with another microsoft account (my original account). I have tried several options, even going as far as to delete my correct microsoft account in order to correct the email address on my new account. I would really appreciate
    any advice, thanks.
