  1. How do I change my email if I deleted the main email connected to my account?


    So I made a new email and forgot about changing passwords and stuff. When I hit I don't have any of these all it tells me to do is add an alternate email, I've already added my main email as an alternate email and it hasn't worked. I haven't been able to turn on Two Step Verificaton because I can't access my old email and it doesn't let me use my alternate emails. I tried changing my main email and did the 30 day wait and the main email on the microsoft account still didn't change.

    How do I change my email if I deleted the main email connected to my account?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Corrupted246981, as you had no security number or email in your account to receive the number the system asked to add and quarantined for 30 days.

    This process is automatic by the system and cannot be accelerated, at the thin of these 30 days your security information will be added by the Microsoft system.

    You say the number does not change, you put a phone or email, if you put a phone placed correctly with the code of your city or country?

    I've got the exact same issue.

    Problem is that my main account uses an old email adress (hotmail) which isn't in use anymore. As my main email adress is used by a Windows 10 generated Xbox account my question is wether it's possible to delete this account, so my main Xbox account can
    use my main email adress.

    Is this a possibility and if yes, how do I fix it?

    Kind regards,

    Max
    You don't need to delete the account. Simply log in to
    https://account.microsoft.com
    and change the email to the one you want to use. You'll want to make sure you do this with the main email you want to use first. This will free up that email for you then you can use that email for your main account. The
    change will take place immediately for you.

    How do I change my main email?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good afternoon

    Log in to your account and navigate to the account settings or profile page.

    Look for an option to edit your email address or contact information.

    Click on the option to change your email address.

    Enter the new email address that you want to use as your main email.

    Follow the prompts to verify the new email address, which may involve receiving a verification code via email or text message.

    Once the new email address is verified, make sure to set it as your primary email address or select it as the default email address for your account.
