Microsoft Account Confusion
When I first setup my PC I used my MS account to login. The account name was an email address from cox.net. However shortly thereafter I changed to a local account. A few months ago I changed the account name to a Gmail address in anticipation of changing my internet provider but I've continued using a local account to login to windows, I've never used the Gmail login name.
Today I wanted to look at the extensions that were available for Edge, so I needed to sign into the Store but the login box was prepopulated with the old account name from cox.net. I assume that I should go to setting, select Email & App Accounts and select the add an account button and add the MS account that uses my Gmail name, correct?
After I do then then how can a delete the old, inactive account with the cox.net user name?
I think my error is confusing the account name which may or may not be an email address with the actual email address used for communication about the account, correct?
Any help would be appreciated.
