Can’t change appleid email

My original appleid email is outdated but I’m unable to change my appleid email. I get the message “email is unavailable.“ How do I proceed?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

I assume that the original ID is a non-Apple email address. You should be able to change it to another non-Apple address which basn't been associated with an Apple ID; or to your main @icloud.com address (the one you created when you opened the iCloud account). You can't change it to an email alias (additional address having a different text before the '@' from the main iCloud address).
