Windows 10: I have changed my email address but my previous address keeps appearing when I try to sign in.

I have changed my email address but my previous address keeps appearing when I try to sign in. How can I delete my old address and set my new one as the default address? The problem is, it asks me to sign in using the old address then says that it does not recognise it. My old address has actually expired now so it can't be used for verification. I feel I'm missing some important step here. I've tried contacting Microsoft via the virtual assistant but it always ends up asking me to verify the account via the email address which is now redundant. It's doing my head in! Can anybody help please?

Changing my Windows 10 email address

Here's how:

• Go to Settings > Accounts
  
• Click "Sign in with a local account instead" and complete the steps
  
• Go back to Settings and click "Sign in With a Microsoft Account" and use your new email address instead.

--

Or if you have purchases on that account that you want to keep (games, movies, whatever), an alternative is to simply go to https://account.microsoft.com/profile and choose "manage how you sign-in to Microsoft". There you can simply add your new email address
as an alternative username (and you can login to Microsoft using any in that list, they're all the "same account" at that point).

 

Change Mac address

The MAC address is like your devices ID ,so short of being able to change very core settings ,you're not gonna be able to do anything unless I'm mistaken.

Maybe you don't need to change your MAC address, what is it you're trying to accomplish?

Spoiler: I found this change mac w/o root I can't say whether or not this is an effective method it's just a method I found after searching this topic .
I cant say whether or not it is "safe" or if the software required is free. use at your own risk.

Change MAC Address of Android Devices without Root Access

Go to Settings>About Phone>Select Status and then make a note of the current MAC Address of your Android device.
Download the Android Terminal Emulator application from the Google Play Store. You can directly navigate to the Android Terminal Emulator Google Play Store download page by clicking here.
Launch the above application on your Android device and then type “IP LINK SHOW”.
Note the interface name of your Android device from the list.
And then type in the command below,
ip link set interfacename XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY
Replace interfacename with the Interface Name of your network that you noted in Step 4 above and XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY with the MAC Address you wish to set.
And that’s it. The MAC Address of your Android device will now be modified/changed.
