  1. Can not login after changing primary mail address


    After changing my primary address in my Personal Microsoft account I can not log in to my PC anymore.The loginscreen asks for the pincode then says I cannot be verified.

  2. Change primary profile e-mail address

    I need to change my primary profile e-mail address on my Microsoft account. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my Microsoft account. I have added my new Outlook e-mail address to the account; however, when I try to make it my primary login address I get a message "this address is already associated with the account. I don't get an option to make it my primary login e-mail address. Therefore, when Microsoft tries to send my access codes, they try to send it to my old address.
