Hello Slimmer58,
You only need to have one Apple ID account. Please check out the following link for more information about that, which may be helpful: Apple ID Frequently Asked Questions
How many Apple IDs do I need?
Just one. Use the same Apple ID everywhere you sign in to ensure that all your Apple services and devices work together seamlessly and you can access your personal content from all your devices.
If you want to change the email address you use with your Apple ID account, please check out this link, which explains how to do that: Change your Apple ID
If you no longer use the email address that's associated with your Apple ID, you can change it. You won’t lose access to your contacts, purchases, or other account information.
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.
If you want to find your Apple ID accounts, this link explains how to look up your accounts, or check if you're already signed in to an app or service, and may help: If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number
Take care!
