Microsoft account change email address

I created my Microsoft Account on a new laptop Windows 8, using my common (with my wife) e-mail address rather than my own individual.  I would like to set up my profile with my individual e-mail address and address common than secondary.  How can I do this?

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and join us on our community.

I understand from the description of the issue you want to create a new user profile with your personal email address.

Could answer you a question to help us understand the question:

1. is the shared account your administrator account?

I suggest you to go from the link and create a new user profile. Here is the link for your reference.

If the shared account is your administrator account and want to make the new account to your administrator account, then proceed as follows.

a. press the Windows key + X , and then select Panel.

b. go to user accounts and select Manage another account.

c. Select the new user account, and click Change the account Type.

d. Select administrator , and then click change the account Type.
