Verification code NOT being sent to my secondary Email?

You are correct that I am trying to HELP you.

You are correct that you need a CODE (for now). After that, you will be able to provision things with a key. A FIDO2 key (to be precise)

You are not correct about needing a MOBILE DEVICE.

However, I hear you when you say that you give up because there is no point in offering you HELP if you are not going to use it.
As for your banks, etc. I have no idea about that as I don't live in your country, your hemishphere or your part of the world.

I suppose I will offer one last peice of HELP in that you are going to have to figure out a way to use atleast a couple of forms of MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) because otherwise, you will lose access to your Gmail and Youtube as well.
Everything will eventually sit behind MFA. Either that will be verifying the (relatively) new ways via different means, or the old ways of having a lot of paperwork and standing in several queues for several hours across different cities.

Unlike you, I did not wait to get old to give up. I gave up before I reached 20, but things still had to get done and I couldn't go to all the places to get it done, so I gave up on giving up and learned to start doing it all myself. Weirdly enough that ended me in IT which I find I enjoy even though I never wanted to be in IT.

So if you want to recover your Microsoft Account hat you setup 25 years ago, the steps have been mentioned earlier. If you are choosing to let it go, then that is your choice.

I am choosing that this is my last answer to your query.

I know your trying to HELP but everything leads me back to needing the CODE which I'm NOT receiving I can't get post this CODE simple as that NO MOBILE DEVICE = NO CODE this is happening EVERYWHERE nowadays no MOBILE DEVICE no debt card etc etc etc old people are being forgotten!!!! This is how it makes US feel "unwanted"

My answer is I give up it's just too hard for us old people that can't use mobile devices in these modern times nobody cares anymore were doomed.............................................

Oh man why is it so complicated? I can't do this without the Gmail code the link takes me back to my Outlook NOT to a place I can add another email address? I need the code to do anything..........................I know I'll loose my Hotmail without this code sooner or later & this Hotmail is the first email I had when I learnt to use a computer around 25 years ago...................I give up now it's just to hard I'm doomed I guess because I can't use a MOBILE DEVISE EVER!!!! The End.

The issue here is that MFA is not setup properly.
As a result, now that a telephone call is no longer an available option, you are unable to use it.
Microsoft has had a long information campaign over a long period of time, but I would not be shocked if you have never seen it.

I have only suggested a local IT volunteer as you seemed to be getting agitated and that was getting us nowhere.

From my understanding, you will need an alternate account to work through this. There are multiple steps, so please read through completely.

I understand that you may not have access to one, so you will have to create a new one from outlook.com. Please remember to setup MFA options that work and test them adequately before you log off from it.

Step 1 - Create an alternate account via https://signup.live.com/

Step 2 - Try to recover your account via https://account.live.com/acsr
Step 3 - If Step 2 does not work, then https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/accounts-billing/manage/help-with-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form
