How can I change the email address used to log in to Windows 8?

I had to delete my hard drive after I encountered serious errors on my laptop. When logging in by setting up my account profile I made a mistake on my email address. When I tried to change this I was not allowed to make my Hotmail account as the primary account. I have just downloaded all my info and files again. Can you please help me to rectify this?

The first step is to unlink your local account, then you will be allowed to link the your local account, to the correct Microsoft Account – Ramhound – 2014-03-20T10:04:29.650

Hover in the bottom right corner of the screen:

In the right toolbar > Settings > Change PC Settings > Your Account > Other Accounts

Here you can add your targeted account. Once you've done that go to Your Account and click Disconnect against the one you wish to remove.
