You are welcome. You will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID. You won't be able to sync using iCloud. If you want to keep separate data on each device, then the data lost isn't a problem. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
