How do I cancel an e mail account and replace with a new one?
The other day I had to change e mail accounts. When I purchased the computer, the old account is the default. I want to update with the new one.
Thanks

Here's how to change your Microsoft account email address.
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-account
Step 1: Add a new alias.
Sign in to your Microsoft account.
Select Your Info.
Select Manage your sign-in email or phone number.
Because of the sensitive nature of changing your alias, you'll be prompted to enter the code that we send to the email address or phone number listed in your account as security information. This lets us know the request is coming from you.
Select either Add email or Add phone number.
If you don't already have an email address, select Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.
If you have a non-Microsoft email address (such as a gmail.com or yahoo.com email address) that you want to use, select Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias, and then click Add alias.
When you add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias, you'll be required to verify that you own that account. To the right of the alias you added, click Verify, and we'll send a message to that email address to get confirmation.
Note The email address that you enter can't already be in use as a Microsoft account alias.
When you receive the verification email, click the link provided to verify that you own the account.
Step 2: Set the new email address as the primary alias.
After you add the new email address, you need to set it as your primary alias to have it displayed when you sign in to all devices and services. Only email addresses can be used as primary aliases.
Here's how to set the new email address as the primary alias: On the Manage your account aliases page, select Make primary under the alias that you want as primary under Account alias.
Step 3: Remove the old email address you no longer want to use.
To remove an email address that you no longer use, select Remove next to that alias on the Manage your account aliases page, and then follow the instructions provided.
Note It can take up to 48 hours for the change to your email address to be implemented on all Microsoft services. If you sign in to your Microsoft account on an Xbox One console by using your Kinect sensor, you might temporarily be asked to manually sign in with a controller. If you're still being asked to manually sign in after two days, try removing your profile from the console and then adding it back. (For help, see Gamertag and profile: Manage profile support.)
You can use any email address or phone number you have listed as an alias to sign in. To make it harder for someone to break in to your account, change your sign-in preferences to turn off any alias you don't want used to sign in.
