  >Where can I change the email address which I use to login to Technet Forums?  

  Try:

  https://account.live.com
  Your Info
  Manage how you sign in to Microsoft

  Add a new alias and make it the primary.

  When you create an MSDN/Technet forum profile you are also associating it to a microsoft account (live ID) so what you're asking is to change your live ID. Seems this is no longer possible on forums end,

  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4806.how-to-change-your-email-or-live-id-on-an-msdn-or-technet-profile.aspx

  but what you can do as a work-around is logon to your live ID;

  https://account.microsoft.com/profile#/

  add a new alias email

  https://account.live.com/names/Manage?mkt=en-US&refd=account.microsoft.com&refp=profile

  and make it primary. Now you can sign on using the new email address.

  I should add that the account name (Live ID) you logon with does not need to be a valid email address. My account name looks like an email address, but is not. It has never received email. But you can configure an email address for notifications in your profile.

  I find it amazing that it will take 30 days for this information to be updated.....  Sometimes is Microsoft not only convoluted but also seems excessively slow.... ;)
