Can I change my Hotmail email address?

Changing a Hotmail email address is not directly possible, as Microsoft does not allow users to simply modify the existing email address. However, users can create a new email address with a different name through the Outlook.com platform, which encompasses Hotmail accounts. Once a new email address is created, users can set it as their primary email address for sending and receiving messages. It is important to note that existing emails tied to the original Hotmail address will remain there, and users will need to manually forward any important emails to the new address or inform their contacts to use the new email for future correspondence. Additionally, users can access their account settings on the Outlook.com website to manage their email addresses further, including options for aliases, which allow users to add additional addresses to their account without having to create a new one. For more details, it is advisable to check the current support resources available on the Outlook.com website.
