Change your Windows Live ID
You can change your
Windows Live ID (The e-mail address and password that you use to sign in to Windows Live programs and services such as Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger; Microsoft services such as Xbox, MSN, and Office Live; and anywhere else that you see the Windows Live ID logo.)
only if you use an
e-mail sign-in account (This is an account created using a third-party e-mail address as your sign-in) . If your Windows Live ID is a Hotmail e-mail address, you won't have the option to change your Windows Live ID.
To change your Windows Live ID:
On the
Account Summary page, next to your Windows Live ID, click
Change.
Enter your password.

Select
Use your own e-mail address.
Enter the Windows Live ID or e-mail address that you want to use, and then click
Check Availability. If the name is available, you see a message that confirms availability.
If you have not agreed to the Windows Live Service Agreement or the Privacy Statement before, you are prompted to do so. Read both agreements and select
I accept. Otherwise, Click

Notes
Depending on your account type, you might see either the Use a new Windows Live e-mail address or Use your own e-mail address option listed. Some accounts may be ineligible for either option.
Creating a new Windows Live e-mail address gives you access to all Windows Live ID sites and services, including Windows Live Hotmail.
Changing your Windows Live ID may cause you to appear offline to your Windows Live Messenger contacts and cause your contacts to appear offline in your contacts list for up to 48 hours.
Although you can use your existing e-mail address as your Windows Live ID, you won’t have access to Windows Live Hotmail services. To access Windows Live Hotmail services you'll need to select Use a new Windows Live e-mail address when you create your Windows Live ID.
In the Change your Windows Live ID section you might see the Forward my e-mail to my new e-mail address option. Select this option to forward e-mail from your old MSN Hotmail or Windows Live Hotmail account to your new Windows Live Hotmail account for a limited time.
