My wife's Apple ID uses a defunct email address for her ID. I want to change the email address to the one she currently uses.
I have read that this process can be troublesome, yet Apple's advice makes it sound quite straightforward. Does Apple send verification advice to the old address? If so, it won't be seen because the address is no longer active.
I would appreciate any advice on this subject as I don't want to mess up the Apple ID.

See step 5 in the first part of the article below. The email goes to the new address.
If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email.

Thank you, Eric. I had read the support article, but I was spooked by some reports of dire consequences.
Happily, it went even easier than the article describes.
Thanks again.
You are welcome.
