Windows 10: How do I change the email address associated with my Microsoft account?

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

Unable to change email address associated with Microsoft Account

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

********* The email address which is currently associated with my Microsoft Account Profile is indeed an @outlook.com email address *********

However, the address that I would like to change it to is a 3rd party address. AOL.

I am going to attempt to follow your instructions. However, to be honest I'm not completely sure I understand what you are suggesting here. I actually DO have control of this email address. I am currently using it as my preferred main email account for my own personal use at the moment.

It sounds like you are suggesting that this AOL email account has gotten into the hands of some other entity, such as aliens from another planet. Of course I know that you are in fact NOT suggesting that this is the case. But then, in fact what exactly ARE you suggesting about the AOL email account?

My thought was that it was previously set up by myself as a completely separate Microsoft Account, and that I must have stopped using it for this purpose, and then over time I may have forgotten that I had set it up for this ulterior purpose.

Thank you again for any help.
