I can think of several different ways to interpret your question. Do you mean the Apple ID on the computer? Do you mean change your Apple ID email address while using his computer? If you mean that one, there can be many on a computer depending upon how many user accounts there are by people with different IDs. Etc.


Here's how you change the email address (Apple ID) you use for your Apple Account while retaining everything in your account:


1. Go to https://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 old ID email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email. --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

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. --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
