Hi,
I think that the outlook.com answeres site is the correct place to ask:

In general, managing the microsoft account is a real pain because to me it seems to be a set of different options depending on the application that you use. I am always looking for some settings and I remember that I had different options depending from
which site I tried to get into my account options.
I don't know about changing the email address but you can add aliases and you can set which you could use to log on:
- Just go to mail.live.com and log on.
- Then you can click on your picture in the upper right corner and choose "view account".
- Then you click "Your info" next to "Account"
- "Manage how you log in to Microsoft"
- Here you can add an email (new address with a "hotmail" domain or an existing email address that you own already)
In "Change sign-in preferences" you can select which names you could use to log in.
I didn't see a possibility to change the main address. Ina lot of places, the primary address of the screen I showed you is used, but for some options, my old main address is still used (so never give that up if possible.) So when the site wanted to send
me a security code, it used an old address which I still own but which is no longer listed in the view!
I hope that I was able to help you a little bit.
With kind regards,
Konrad
