Hello Email Questions Forum expert(s)

I have a Hotmail account that I want to just change the name, but keep the contents of the account.
Is a name change possible:
Instead of
mrrockn***hk@hotmail.com
I want to change it to
cy****8or@hotmail.com

Can I do that?
Or is an "alias" another alternative???

Please explain to this computer "dummie"
Thanks A lot.

It is no possible to change the username of an account. To create additional usernames you can create a second account or an alias associated with the original account.
