Windows 10: Alias Problem

I am just an old lady with a problem. I downloaded MS One Drive. As I understood it asked for different email, so I used my husband's email. As a result it changed my primary alias to his email address. Really messed up my MS Account. So I uninstalled One Drive, but husband's alias remained as primary alias. I tried to add my alias, but it says it is already in use. I doesn't show as listed. Could anyone tell me in OLD LADY simple language how I might solve my problem. Thanking you in advance

:)

Microsoft account email alias problem

i changed the alias and removed the default one, so now i have only the new one in the list...the default one that was their is gone

i did not know that removing the default alias would mean i would lose my original email address, because now my original email adress isnt working.

and on top of that, my new alias or should i say new email address isint recieving emails... over 20 years of usuing the same email address and its gone because i thought a alias was just a display name.
