Use iCloud email as Apple ID and primary email

Hello.

So I have my iCloud email address as an alternative email on my account.

My primary email address is a hotmail address but I want to change it my iCloud email address.

How do I make my iCloud email address the Primary Email Address and The Apple ID ?

Thanks!

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 27-inch Intel Quad-Core i7 2.93GHz 8GB 2TB

I'm afraid you can't. You can only make your @icloud.com address your Apple ID if you do it when you create both together from the iCloud prefs pane. Once you have an iCloud account using a non-Apple address as the ID/login you can change that to another non-Apple address that isn't associated with an Apple ID, but you can't change it to an @icloud.com address.
