    Change Email

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with changing your alias on your Microsoft Account.

    Unfortunately, if you receive the message "alias has been taken" you will have to use another email.

    Note:If you choose to use an alias that uses a Microsoft domain such
    as @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, or @live.com, that alias is taken up by the Microsoft Account. If the email address is a 3rd party such as @gmail.com, @msn.com for example may be used on another account already.


    Hope this helps.
