    How To Change Administrator Email/Account?


    My original hotmail email was deleted, but now, when I want to try and download things from Microsoft store and such, it won't let me log in with my new email.


    I have recently made this email an administrator, but now I have two separate log-ins when I first power on my laptop, and I didn't want that. I just wanted to change my administrator email so I could start downloading things from Microsoft store and such.


    No matter where I look or what I do, I can't figure out how to change it.


    And how do I get rid of this second account that I don't even want.


    I just want to replace the old email with the new email and be able to log into Microsoft and download things. I don't want another account or anything dumb like that. And whenever I try to log in, it says that the service isn't available or something like that.


    Thanks for the help...


    I have pictures to show what I'm talking about. The red box is my new email, and the green box is my old one, the one I deleted and now can't detach from my account...

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.

    How To Change Administrator Email/Account?

    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.
