Windows 10: Issues updating account info

I've changed service providers and need to update my email address as it no longer exists.When I select edit account info and "Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias" it says "This email address is already taken. Please try again."Of course it'"taken" cause it's mine...duh. You'd think in this "2-step verification world" it would be an easy task step.I've updated my banking, utilities, insurance, tax accounts and other "secure" services and apps with little to no issues. Can someone help me with this simple task of updating account info?BTW...tried calling to speak in
