How to change the account email address in Windows 11

To change the account email address in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon in the taskbar or pressing the Windows key on your keyboard.
  2. Click on your user profile picture or account name located at the top right corner of the Start menu.
  3. In the drop-down menu, select “Settings” to open the Windows Settings app.
  4. In the Settings app, click on the “Accounts” category.
  5. In the left sidebar, select “Your info.”
  6. On the right side, under the “Account info” section, you will see your current email address listed. Click on the “Manage my Microsoft account” link below it.
  7. This will open a browser window and take you to the Microsoft account website. You may be prompted to sign in again for security purposes.
  8. Once you’re signed in, navigate to the “Your info” section of your Microsoft account.
  9. Look for the “Manage how you sign in to Microsoft” option or a similar setting related to account email addresses.
  10. From there, you should have the option to add or change your email address associated with your Microsoft account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Note: The steps above assume you already have a Microsoft account linked to your Windows 11 user account. If you don’t have a Microsoft account yet or want to create a new one, you can do so from the Microsoft account website or during the initial setup of Windows 11.Regenerate response
