Change your Apple ID  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Read these two sections very carefully to see what is allowed: If your Apple ID is a third-party email address and How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

 

Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above document under the heading Before you change your Apple ID.

 

For sign out purposes, see Where can I use my Apple ID? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659 “This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. It's not intended to include every feature or service that uses Apple ID. Visit the Apple ID support page for more information.”

Do you want to change the email address of your current ID or do you want to use a different Apple ID on the computer? If you want to use a different ID on the computer, the best way to do that is to fully reset the computer using the steps in the article below. Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives before the reset. You can use Setup Assistant to restore your data after the reset.
