I tried restarting my MacBook, it still says I can't login when I try. As I have a desktop machine also running old software and therefore on OS Sierra, this is a major issue, especially with iTunes not working properly.
The changed ID is fine on IOS on all devices.
Thanks for your help

Login Issues After Apple ID Change:
The Apple ID is no more than the eMail assigned to your Apple ID. So, have you changed the eMail address? Or are you using a different Apple Account:
Boot Without WiFi:
Disable your router, and see if that make any difference.
Try Safe Mode:
While in Safe Mode, try using this browser. In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues.

Excellent job troubleshooting!
So it seems the problem is that gmail client is not compatible with my Sierra OS. But I cannot actually delete that AppleID. I’m thinking of changing AppleID to phone number, but this still may not work.
Updating OS will render practically all my vintage software useless, so I do not know what to do. It was all working perfectly before I changed the AppleID. Now I’m trapped in a roundabout of IT **** - cannot connect to iCloud at all on iMac or MacBook, but cannot delete unavailable gmail address on AppleID.
Yes: I changed broadband provider, so had to change associated email address for the AppleID
