Windows 10: changing the main administrators email address

Hi all, I want to change the main adminstrators (me) email address (at the moment default outlook) but there is no option that I can find. I can create a new administrator with the new email but all of the files and content associated with the current email address will be archived or deleted. So, basically creating a new user. any ideas?

How To Change Administrator Email Address?


How can I reset email address in Control Panel > User Accounts > Make changes to my account in PC settings ?
If you Google this question you will get only instructions only on how to change password. I don't want to change the password, I want to change the email address.

 

How to change Windows 10 administrator email address

I have have a new email address which I use to log into my Microsoft account. However, the old email address (which no longer works) is still associated with the administrator account on my PC. I am the only user and have no other accounts on the device.

How can I change the old administrator email address to the new one?

There are numerous posts on the MS community on this problem but none actually state what to do. I need a step-by-step instruction sheet

Can anyone help?
