if i change it to one of my linked accounts? does the mail i receive (like from the xbox emails) from my old id go to the the linked account i chose? also if i link it do my contacts disappear or do they save?
this sounds creepy but i like how your voice sounds so sometimes if i dont eed the tutoral you put on i just use it as backround sound you have a soothing voice (even talking about windows live haha)
ok when i was a kid my stepdad set up my xbox360 account with is email and is email is on my xbox360 i dont know password for my xbox360 so cant change i need to change my email to change my password
hi greg, is there a way to change your email without the password? i was hacked and somebody changed the email now i cant log onto windows live on the computer cause i dont know the password
That's a pretty accurate summary. I originally filmed this tutorial for a friend who had similar questions about changing the email address behind her Live ID. Interesting development since this was filmed, you can now manage your non-Hotmail email within Hotmail.
Afraid changing the e-mail address associated with your Live ID only works if you originally set it up with a non-Microsoft e-mail address in the first place. However, Hotmail now allows you to manage your Gmail and multiple other e-mail accounts within the Hotmail UI.
@ Ntina - ZohoMail is just an example of a non-Hotmail e-mail service.

Ntina - You can only change the email address associated with your Windows Live ID if it's one associated with a non-Microsoft (Hotmail, MSN, Live.com) email account. So changing the email address really doesn't change anything about your Windows Live ID. All the Messenger status updates, comments, etc., will continue to function. You'll just login using a different email address. Hope that clears it up for you. Thanks!
Hi i have a problem whilest doing it thats pissing me off everytime i try changing my Live ID its come up with a error message when i try online it says please trying again laters wtf is up?
Ive tried typeing in my location & secret code & its not working & they wanna send my new password 2 my hotmail acct that I cant get 2..So I'll go back & try & c if they'll accept an alternative acct.Im starting 2 give up hope & throw my pc n2 the entracoastal.Theres pics & music in my folders that I have nothing 2 do with.Whats going on?The guy I pd 2 set up my pc stuck a hard drive in my pc w/out my permission.Needless 2 say..Im not happy.Any suggestions?
@ Gav - no, I originally posted this to help a friend who was considering closing an account and wanted to know whether she had to completely close her Live ID. Closing the non-Microsoft e-mail isn't a required step. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for the video
So based on what I understand, please tell me if I’m correct
Windows Live is a suite of features, availible for people with Windows Live accounts
Some of these features, include Hotmail.
You can make a Windows Live account, using another email. Kinda like Google.
However, you can also make a WL account, using a @msn/live/hotmail.com address
Changing your WL email only works if it’s an external account
Once you have a msn/live/hotmail address, you cannot change it.

is it necessary to close the email account?

@ Juggernaut757 - Probably because your Live ID is tied to a Hotmail, Live, or MSN e-mail address. Can't change those.
