Greetings, Mandykay37.


Since you need to use a different email address for your Apple ID account, you can use the steps below to change the email. Please note, this will only work if you haven’t already created a new Apple ID with the preferred email address. 


“How to change your Apple ID to a different email address

  1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
  2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.
  3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.
  4. Choose Change Apple ID.
  5. 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.
  6. If you use services like iCloud or Messages to share with friends and colleagues, sign in to those services with your updated Apple ID.” Change your Apple ID 


If you have already created a new Apple ID, you could look into Family Sharing for your two Apple ID’s. This would allow purchase sharing between them. Check out: Family Sharing


We hope this helps! 


Best wishes.
