  1. How do I change the email associated with and listed under the Your Info page of Windows...


    My Windows local user login somehow got associated to an email account that is my son's so Windows thinks that a child is logged into Windows. I have had this computer since 2011 and have been logging into the local user Jonathan for it's entire existence, but right after I created an email account for my son so he could play Minecraft, Windows associated this local Jonathan user with HIS email address. I just want to change the email address, circled in the screenshot below. I don't want/need an email address associated to my Windows login whatsoever. Thank you for any help.

    :)

    how to change email account listed as administrator on Settings/Accounts/Your Info page

    I want to change the email account listed on the Your Info page. I need to delete this account due to spam email.

    I do not know how/why this email account is shown. I want to change the account to the main email account for Microsoft, OR to look like this page on another laptop that I have, which shows:

    username

    local account

    Administrator

    How do I set up the "Your Info" page with this information?

    Thanks.

    Email used to create Microsoft account permanently associated with it?

    A few months ago, I decided to use another email address with my Microsoft account. I linked it, made it the primary alias, and I deleted the original email address, the one I used to create the account, I think back in the live.com days (2013, anyway). When I go to "Your Info" on the account.microsoft.com/profile web site, I see only the new email address in the "Profile" tab. I click on "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft," and it's the only Account Alias listed. Great, right?

    However, back on the "Your Info" page, there is the enigmatic "Contact info" link to the right of "Profile." I click on it, and my original email address is the only email under "These email addresses are associated with your Microsoft account, including the best place to reach you, and how you sign in." In particular, the primary alias is nowhere to be found. There's no way to change it, as "Manage this email address" takes me back to "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft," where the new email address is the only Account Alias listed, as I mentioned above. When I click on "Change sign-in preferences," only my new email address is listed, it's grayed out, and the only button on the page is Cancel.

    So this "Contact info" part of Microsoft is fixated on my original email address, and I can't change it. I don't know what it's used for, and I don't monitor it anymore, so it's a problem.

    Any ideas?
