When I sign on, it shows my name and an old email address of mine that I used in setting up this computer. I should not have used it, but I was having a problem distinguishing this computer from my previous computer. Both are similar and I had both online during the setup. The old email address still exists, but it is seldom used. I'm not sure if it makes any real difference, but it bothers me to see it there, and also, I think it may be causing some of the email issues I am having. Can I change it now by myself? Or do I need help from someone at Microsoft? Please tell me how, as I do not fi

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

Delete old email sign in address

Hi,

Difficulties verifying the old security details in your Microsoft account may result in errors canceling or removing the profile. For us to rectify the account removal concern, we'd like to verify the following information:

• Where exactly are you prompted to sign in with the old email address?
• Have you tried resetting the password for the old account to recover it?
• Were you able to log in successfully on your account online?
• Have you made any significant changes to your account prior to this happening?
• What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

Your reply is highly appreciated.

 

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?
