How to change MS account email address and Edge Profile

Question

I use Office 365 and trying to change the MS account email address to a domain email address since that is my primary address I use. Is that possible and if so, how can I change the information?

Also, the use of Personal and Profile in Edge seems to be confusing and not sure what the difference is. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank you.

To change your Microsoft account email address to a domain email address in Office 365, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center: You must have the appropriate admin role, such as a user administrator or global administrator.
2. Go to Users > Active users: Find the user whose email address you want to change.
3. Select the user: Click on the user's name to open their account settings.
4. Manage username and email: On the Account tab, select Manage username and email.
5. Edit the Username: Change the username to the new domain email address you want to use. Make sure the correct domain is selected in the Domains box.
6. Save Changes: After making the changes, select Done to save.

Make sure you have added the domain to your Microsoft 365 account and that it is verified before changing the email address. If you encounter any error messages during this process, refer to the troubleshooting section for resolving error messages.

Regarding Microsoft Edge, the terms "Personal" and "Profile" can be confusing. In Edge:

• Profile refers to a user account within the browser that allows you to keep your bookmarks, history, and settings separate from other users. You can have multiple profiles for different users or purposes (e.g., work and personal).
• Personal typically refers to the use of your personal Microsoft account or settings that are tailored to your personal browsing experience.

Understanding these distinctions can help you manage your browsing experience more effectively.
