Windows 10: Trying to change primary email alias to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** but...

Trying to change my primary email address to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** but says email is already taken but it’s my new email address. How do I change from current address as it will be deleted soon?

Microsoft Primary Alias & @xboxlivefamily.com Email Addresses.

I was trying to Redeem an Item from Microsoft Rewards when I realized it was going to be sent to my @xboxlivefamily.com email address. That address cannot receive emails, is this with all @xboxlivefamily.com addresses? And why can't they receive emails?
So, I decided to change the primary email (alias) and It wouldn't let me. It said, "Your organization's policies prevent you from changing your primary alias." I am not apart of any organization. What could it be? Family?

 

Alias email addresses

I want to add my primary email address as an alias and remove the current alias. But when I attempt to, the system comes back with "email address already taken" even though its my primary email address. How do I
get around this?
