received email that Microsoft account has been renamed

To change the account sign-in email, use Manage how you sign in to Microsoft, not the profile name page.

Steps:

1. Sign in to Edit account info: Edit account info
2. Choose Add email if the correct email address is not already listed as an alias.
3. Verify the new email address if prompted.
4. In Manage how you sign in to Microsoft, select Make primary next to the correct alias.
5. If needed, remove the incorrect alias after the correct one is set as primary.

If the rename created a conflict with a work or school account that uses the same email address, Microsoft may show a Which account do you want to use? prompt. In that case, changing the personal account’s primary alias to a different email address can remove the prompt.

If sign-in or verification is blocked because the password no longer works, use Recover your account first: Recover your account
