Change Your Gmail Address: How to Update Your Google Account Email

• Gmail address changes depend on Google Account setup; @gmail.com addresses are often not directly editable, unlike non-Gmail ones.
• Check editability via Google Account > Personal info > Email > Google Account email; administrators control work/school accounts.
• If editable, enter new email, verify via link; the new email becomes your primary sign-in address.
• To switch from Gmail to non-Gmail, delete the Gmail service (permanently removes address), then add a non-Gmail address as primary.
• If direct change isn't possible, consider adding an alternate email, checking other accounts in Gmail, or creating a new Google Account.

Why It Matters: Changing your Gmail address is possible under specific conditions, with direct edits often limited for @gmail.com accounts.
