that didn't answer the question, which was how to change the email address, not the Apple ID
The OP asked how to change the email address that is associated with their iCloud account.
To sign into your iCloud account you use your Apple ID.
Therefore if you want to change the email address or Apple ID you sign into iCloud with, you need to change your Apple ID.
If your question is how to change your primary iCloud Mail email address, AFAIK, you cannot as it is linked to and is an alias for your Apple ID. You can create an email alias. Alias can be changed and deleted.
I changed the email address associated with my Apple ID a while ago. I've deleted ICloud on my iphone and reinstalled with my new email address. Also, when I go to my Apple ID account, it shows my current email address as the primary email for my Apple ID. So I don't want to change anything on the Apple ID as it is all correct.
However when I boot up my computer, ICloud on my Mac keeps asking me to sign in using the old email (no longer functional). I want to change that to the current email. And I have yet to see anything posted to answer that question.
It's ridiculous that Apple makes this all so complicated.
Sign out of the old email on the Mac then back in with the new email.
System Preferences > iCloud > sign out
I am having the same problem and cannot find a solution. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!
