How Do I Edit My Hotmail Address?

Published in Email Accounts 2 mins read

You can't directly edit your Hotmail address. However, you can change your email address associated with your Microsoft account, which includes your Hotmail address. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Microsoft account: Go to https://account.microsoft.com/ and enter your Hotmail email address and password.
  2. Access your account settings: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "View account."
  3. Navigate to the "Email address" section: Scroll down to the "Email address" section and click on "Manage."
  4. Add a new email address: Enter the new email address you want to use and follow the on-screen instructions to verify it.
  5. Make your new address the primary address: Once verified, you can choose to make your new address the primary address for your Microsoft account.

Important notes:

  • Changing your primary email address will affect all Microsoft services associated with your account, including Hotmail, OneDrive, and Xbox.
  • Your old Hotmail address will still be associated with your account, but you won't be able to log in with it anymore.
  • You can add multiple email addresses to your Microsoft account, but only one can be set as the primary address.
