I noticed that my recovery account email address is incorrect. The one listed is no longer in use and I have no access to it. How to I change the recovery address to my current outlook.com one?

    Click on your picture (not the gear) and click my account from the dropdown. Once logged into your account, pick security, then additional security. You can then delete the old recovery and add a new one.
