  1. How do I change the email address associated with my Microsoft account on my PC?


    I recently changed my personal email address and went online to change it for my Microsoft account. However, I need to change it on my PC, and haven't been able to do so. I get a message on start up that I need to manage my Microsoft account, but the "email and accounts" page in Settings is empty. How do I change the email address?

    :)

    how to change the email address associated with my Microsoft account?

    When I opened my Microsoft account (many years ago), I used my then-current email address. That same email address is not my current email address anymore. I want to update my Microsoft account with my current email address.

    How do I change the email address associated with my Microsoft account?

    Thank you.

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    Changing my microsoft email address

    So I want to change the email address associated with my microsoft account. The only problem is I am currently using a microsoft-enabled account for windows 10. So my old email I want to change from literally has an account on this computer. My question is, when I change my microsoft email, will everything auto-update on my win 10 PC? Will my account name on my PC now change to the new email? Will there be any "remnants" of the old email that will not be able to be removed without having to make a totally new account on my PC?
