Hi, I am not sure how to ask this but how do I change this e-mail to something else? This is the e-mail I set up when I first made this windows account and I really stuck on this and can't figure it out.

(The e-mail is covered by red)

(Also how do I change my name? I put Woo cause I didn't want to put my last name but now I realize that's silly)
