    Account Aliases

    I seem to be struggling with my Microsoft account which I never use. In trying to understand another issue I'm having I was trying to figure out how to sign in to my Microsoft account. When I finally did I learned that is uses an email address that I never
    use any more. I still sort of have it but I only have sporadic access to it so want to use the email address that I use all the time.

    In going through my settings to change it I come to this screen:

    Manage how you sign in to Microsoft

    An account alias is an email address or phone number that you use to sign in to your Microsoft account. You can have multiple aliases, and use any of them with Microsoft services such as Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive, Office,
    Xbox, Windows and more.

    Your account's primary alias is displayed on your Microsoft devices (such as a Windows PC, Xbox, or Windows Phone), and you can choose a different alias to be the primary one at any time.

    Learn more about account aliases.


    Account alias



    • *** Email address is removed for privacy *** (primary alias)

      Remove

    That email address is one I no longer ever use so I selected the Add email option. It takes me to this screen:

    Add an alias
    Your account can have multiple aliases, each of which lets you sign in to all the devices and services that use Microsoft account. Your aliases share a single password, and you can send and receive mail with each.
