    I cannot get my Windows 10 email address changed.


    I am having one heck of a time trying to change my ‘OLD’
    email address registered to MS Windows 10 changed.*Banghead When I follow the instructions to
    change my email address, I get a response that something is wrong! It doesn’t tell me what is
    wrong but to reenter the information. I have done this a couple of times with
    no success.
    I have Office 365 and I have no problems with getting into
    the admin center with my new e-mail. It was easy to work with them to make the
    change. My old email provider just canceled all the accounts with two months’
    notice and I have no contact with them. You can imagine what a headache that
    was!*Mad2 My new email provider is through Office 365 and although it costs a few
    bucks a year, I am very happy with the service and my own domain.
    Any suggestions?
    John
