Need to change apple ID

MY old apple ID does not exist and I can't remember the password. I need to update it in order to use updated apps on my computer. What should I do?

It would be best to try to recover your original ID:


If you forgot your Apple ID (your Apple ID is usually your email address), click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201354


"If you forgot your Apple ID password" click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201487


What to do after [or even better, before] you change your Apple ID email address or password - https://support.apple.com/HT204071


If you still need help:

Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security "This article provides country-specific Apple Support contact information for customers seeking help with their Apple ID password or other security-related issues."
