My sign-in email is inextricably linked to the wrong account.

What you're experiencing is that the aol is your Windows device alias, which is separate from your Outlook acct which is for MS services but can also serve as your device id. If you bought a 2nd PC, at setup, you could add your Outlook email as the alias and the new PC would be added to your list of devices (see top tab in your post 5 screenshot). I have 6 devices listed which are mine and ones that I support for others. But if you tried to use the aol address, you'd go thru all the steps, all over, that you did with the first PC.

In the screenshot in post 5, is the 2nd blacked out box simply your name w/no email? Also, when you click 'Add email' under that, do you get this screen? and can you add your existing outlook address? (see post end)-

if you can, then go back and click 'remove' next to aol primary alias and you should be set. If not, take a hammer to this- go to Settings/Accounts/Your info/Manage my MS account which will open a web page like this-



is the @ under your picture in upper-L aol or outlook? Then go to Device list, click your computer, on next page under 'Manage' click remove computer. That should kill the aol alias once and for all. You should now be able to sign in with outlook address as primary alias for your PC, as the 2nd name w/o email indicates you set up a Local account at some point.

Go here

click on the link under this item
Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft with your Microsoft account. If you’re having issues signing in to your Microsoft account, go to Microsoft account help.

Then enter the AOL details
they will send a verification email to your nominated security check - email address or whatever you set up as a security check
When you have passed that proceed and choose as shown on the microsoft link
If you want to use an existing email address or phone number, go to step 6.
Under Sign-in preferences, select Change sign-in preferences.

setting it as your Outlook account

Thanks again. I went to: Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account/Manage how you sign in to Microsoft

This didn't work. The screen capture above is when I entered the Outlook information accidentally . When I enter the AOL information like you said to (I missed that the first time), I still get:




There's no Outlook option shown or given, and when I try to add another email (the Outlook email) it just tells me that that email is all ready taken, and doesn't do anything. The Sign-in Preferences doesn't help, it doesn't list the Outlook account as actually being there. It just shows the AOL address, and then the name of the AOL address without the @ information.

I must be missing something. Sorry!

Is this possibly because I do have the Outlook account on my computer and there is no way to move aliases from one Microsoft account to another?
