New Email?

Hey there, cooza skates

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Did you close his account from Microsoft's side (Microsoft account | Home) or through Google?

If you have done this through Microsoft's side, please try logging into the account via Microsoft account | Home and see if you can log in.

Under the Microsoft's account closure policy, once you mark your account for deactivation/close, it keeps your account for 60 days before it removes the account and deletes it from the servers. During this time period, you are able to change your mind and log into your account. Once you sign into your account, the mark as close tag is removed, and the account will not be closed.

However, this is for Microsoft accounts. Google may have a different policy.

Step 1: Add a new email address or phone number

1. Sign in to your
   Microsoft account.
2. Select Your info at the top of the page.
3. Select Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
4. You may be prompted to re-enter your password or 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.
   
5. Select either Add email or Add phone number.
   
   Note If you see the message “For security reasons, you need to verify your primary alias before you can add another alias” at the bottom of the page, you will need to either
   Verify your current primary alias or select Rename. If you select
   Rename, please go to the “How to rename an unverified primary alias” section
   
6. If you selected Add email, follow these steps. Otherwise, go to step 7 to add a phone number.
   1. 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.
      
   2. 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.
        
7. If you selected Add phone number, follow these steps:
   1. Select your country from the list.
   2. Enter the phone number you want to use, and then select Next.
      
   3. When you add a new phone number, we'll send a text message to that number to verify it. Enter the code in the text message, and then select
      Next.

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.
