Q: How do I change Apple ID when primary account is now x@icloud.com?
I am now ready to close my Hotmail account as it is no longer used. But, I use xxx@hotmail.com as my Apple ID. I now use the xxx@i.cloud.com.
How can I get rid of the hotmail ID? I understand I cannot use Apple related emails? I can find nowhere on the site with instructions about this.
Thank you.

You can change your current non-Apple ID address to another non-Apple address that hasn't previously been associated with an Apple ID, but you cannot change it to your @icloud.com address.
The method is described here:
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Note particularly that if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/Mac' enabled on any of your devices you must turn it off before you start.
