Windows 10: verify account

When you change your account credentials for your MS account, specifically changing the email address.....why is there a 30 day wait period if you only have an email account to use to verify. If you have a mobile phone, you're instantly given a text with the code. Some of us don't have a mobile phone. I under stand the need of a waiting period by why so long.....a week should be sufficient.

Verifying and 'add a microsoft account'

''Why do I need to verify my email address?

f you need a new verification link, here’s how to get it:

• 
  Sign in to the Microsoft account website, and select Your info.
  
• 
  Select Manage your sign-in email or phone number.
  
• 
  Select Verify next to the email address, and then Send me verification email.
  

I can't find 'verify' on page.

I was supposed to check for the code that was sent to my gmail adress (So i could pass to the 'Manage your sign-in email or phone number), not outlook witch is primary, and supposed to be verified on computer. How could i remove gmail and change everything
to be sent to my @outlook.com ?
