    Changing my current Microsoft email to a different one


    Hello guysSo, as already stated in the subject field I want to change my current Windows email address to a different one. But the catch is; the email address that's now being used as my main Windows 10 account is deleted, meaning that I can't log into it anymore nor change any settings associated with that address. So with that being said, how do I change my Windows email address when that address doesn't exist anymore?Any help is appreciated!Thanks in advanceArtur

    :)

  3. Microsoft Account Email Change

    Hi Carlo,

    Do you want to replace the current account with another Microsoft Account?

    I suggest you to convert the current Microsoft Account to a local account and then convert back to Microsoft account but while doing so add the new Microsoft account that you want to replace with the old.

    This way you would not need to transfer all her applications, software, data, etc.

    1. Convert Microsoft Account to a local account

    • From the Desktop. Press the Windows key and then press the letter R.
    • This will bring up the run box.
    • Type Control Panel and click OK.
    • This will bring up the control panel and you will be able to access the user accounts from there.
    • To change to local account, do the above steps, If in category view Click on user accounts and Family safety.
    • Then click on user accounts. Click on make changes to my account in PC settings. You should be able to change to a local account.

    2. Convert local account to a Microsoft Account


    Step 1:
    Go to Start

    , and select
    Settings > Accounts > Your account.

    Step 2:

    Look to see which kind of account you used to sign in:

    • A Microsoft account. If you're already signed in with a Microsoft account, your name and email address appear above your account picture.
    • A local account. If you're signed in with a local account, you'll see the words
      Local Account below your name, along with the Connect to a Microsoft account link.

    Switch your local account to a Microsoft account.

    Step 1:
    Go to Start

    , and select

    Step 2:
    Select Sign in with a Microsoft account.

    You might have to verify your password.

    Step 3:
