Change Your Gmail Address? Here's How (and When You Can't)

• Changing a Gmail address is possible but depends on your Google Account setup and specific conditions.
• Directly editing @gmail.com addresses is generally not allowed; non-Gmail addresses can often be changed.
• To check or change, go to Google Account -> Personal info -> Email -> Google Account email.
• You can replace your Gmail address with a non-Gmail email by deleting the Gmail service, which is permanent but doesn't delete your Google Account.
• If direct change isn't possible, consider alternatives like adding an alternate email or creating a new account, as changes impact various services.

Why It Matters: Changing your Gmail address has specific rules and limitations, often requiring workarounds or new accounts.
