How can I change my microsoft account that is linked to an email that no longer exists?

I uninstalled Microsoft Solitaire Collection to get the new version and now I can't get it on this laptop because the Microsoft account is linked to an email that no longer exists. How can I change this?

 

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.

Hi,

To change the email address you use to sign in your Microsoft account follow the steps below:

Step 1: Add a new email address

• Sign in to your
  Microsoft account.
• Select Your info at the top of the page.
• Select Manage your sign-in email
  
  
• You may be prompted to enter a code we send to the email address or phone number listed in your account as security information. This lets us know the request is coming from you.
  
• Select either Add email
• If you selected Add email, follow these steps.

• If you want to create a new email address to use, select Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.
  
• If you have a non-Microsoft email address (such as an @gmail.com or
  @yahoo.com email address) that you want to use, select Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias, and then click
  Add alias.
  • When you add an existing email address, you'll be required to verify that you own that account. To the right of the alias you added, click
    Verify, and we'll send a message to that email address to get confirmation.
    
  • When you receive the verification email, click the link provided to verify that you own the account.
  • Note The email address that you enter can't already be in use as a Microsoft account alias.

Step 2: Set the new email address as your primary alias

After you add the new email address, you need to set it as your primary alias to have it displayed when you sign in to all devices and services. Here's how:

On the Manage your account aliases page, select Make primary under the email address you want as primary under
Account alias.

Note Only email addresses can be used as primary aliases.

Step 3: Remove the old email address you no longer want to use

To remove an email address you no longer use, select Remove next to that alias on the
Manage your account aliases page, and then follow the instructions provided.

Note It can take up to 48 hours for the change to your email address to be implemented across all Microsoft services.

Let us know the results.

Regards.
