The primary email address for your Microsoft account is what you use to sign into Windows and other Microsoft services. If you’d prefer to use a different address than the one you signed up with–even a non-Microsoft address–it’s an easy change to make.
Microsoft帐户的主要电子邮件地址是您用来登录Windows和其他Microsoft服务的地址。 如果您希望使用与注册地址不同的地址(甚至是非Microsoft地址)，则可以轻松进行更改。
If you’re using a Microsoft account to sign into Windows, you’re not stuck using the account you signed up with. Maybe you originally created an Outlook.com address, but prefer to use your Gmail address instead. You could always revert to a local account on your PC and then change back to a Microsoft account using a new address, but that takes a bit of time, and you’d need to do it on each PC where you sign in with that account. Fortunately, there’s an easier way. Microsoft lets you create aliases, which are really just additional email addresses you can use to sign in to the same account. Then, you can change any of those aliases to be your primary address.
如果您使用Microsoft帐户登录Windows，则不会被您注册时使用的帐户所困扰。 也许您最初创建的是Outlook.com地址，但更喜欢使用Gmail地址。 您始终可以还原到 PC上的本地帐户 ，然后使用新地址改回Microsoft帐户，但这会花费一些时间，因此您需要在使用该帐户登录的每台PC上进行操作。 幸运的是，有一种更简单的方法。 Microsoft使您可以创建别名，这些别名实际上只是可用于登录同一帐户的其他电子邮件地址。 然后，您可以将这些别名中的任何一个更改为您的主要地址。
To start, head on over to the Microsoft account page and sign in using whatever email address you’ve already got set up.
首先，请转到Microsoft帐户页面，然后使用您已设置的任何电子邮件地址登录。
On the main account page, click the “Your info” link on the navigation bar at the top.
在主帐户页面上，单击顶部导航栏上的“您的信息”链接。
On that page, click the “Manage how you sign in to Microsoft” link.
在该页面上，单击“管理您登录Microsoft的方式”链接。
The next page shows the email addresses you have set up. If you already have an alias created that you’d like to make the primary account, you can skip the next few steps. Otherwise, click the “Add email” link to create a new alias.
下一页显示您已设置的电子邮件地址。 如果您已经创建了要创建主帐户的别名，则可以跳过接下来的几个步骤。 否则，请单击“添加电子邮件”链接以创建新的别名。
The “Add an alias” page gives you two options. You can create a new new email address on the outlook.com service or you can add an existing email from another site as your new alias. Choose the option you want, fill in the details, and then click the “Add alias” button.
“添加别名”页面提供了两个选项。 您可以在Outlook.com服务上创建新的新电子邮件地址，也可以添加来自其他站点的现有电子邮件作为新别名。 选择所需的选项，填写详细信息，然后单击“添加别名”按钮。
Your new account should now appear on the list of aliases. If you added an existing email address, you’ll also get a message letting you know that a verification email was sent to that address. Go find it and verify the email address for your Microsoft account before continuing.
现在，您的新帐户应出现在别名列表中。 如果您添加了现有的电子邮件地址，还将收到一条消息，通知您已向该地址发送了验证电子邮件。 在继续之前，请找到它并验证您的Microsoft帐户的电子邮件地址。
You can actually sign on to Microsoft services–including Windows–using any of your aliases. So if that’s all you wanted to achieve, you’re good to go.
实际上，您可以使用任何别名登录Microsoft服务(包括Windows)。 因此，如果这就是您要实现的全部，那么您就很好了。
But, you can also make your new alias your primary account if you want. The advantage of doing this is that emails from Microsoft regarding your account, payments you make for services, and so on will go to that account. It’s also a great way to just consolidate everything under your preferred email address. Also, if you want to remove an address that is already your primary alias, you need to make another address your primary before doing that.
但是，如果需要，您也可以将新别名设置为主帐户。 这样做的好处是，来自Microsoft的有关您的帐户，您为服务付款的电子邮件等将发送到该帐户。 这也是将所有内容合并到您喜欢的电子邮件地址下的一种好方法。 另外，如果要删除已经是您的主要别名的地址，则需要先更改另一个地址作为主要别名。
If you do want to make your new address your primary alias, click the “Make primary” link under your new email address. Just note that you must have verified the new email address before you can do it.
如果您确实想将新地址用作主要别名，请单击新电子邮件地址下方的“设为主要”链接。 请注意，您必须先验证新的电子邮件地址，然后才能进行操作。
On the confirmation page, click the “Yes” button to make the email address your primary alias. If you don’t want promotional offers from Microsoft at that address, be sure to turn off that option.
在确认页面上，单击“是”按钮，使电子邮件地址成为您的主要别名。 如果您不希望该地址的Microsoft提供促销优惠，请确保关闭该选项。
It can take up to 48 hours for the change of your primary alias to proliferate through all the Microsoft services. In our experience, it usually happens much faster than that. Within a couple of hours, it’s likely you’ll be able to use the primary address for logging on to Windows PCs, Xboxes, and other devices associated with your account. Other services may take a bit longer, but you can still log onto them with your old credentials just fine.
通过所有Microsoft服务，您的主要别名更改最多可能需要48个小时才能扩散。 根据我们的经验，它通常比这快得多。 在几个小时内，您很可能可以使用主地址登录Windows PC，Xbox和与您的帐户关联的其他设备。 其他服务可能需要更长的时间，但是您仍然可以使用旧凭据登录它们。
