    Hi Ronald Tang,

    Based on my research, in Microsoft 365 for business, the “original login username” you’re referring to is actually the User Principal Name (UPN**)**, which is the account’s primary sign‑in name. This can be updated by an administrator and does not require creating a new account or moving your subscription.

    If you have Global Administrator access, you can update the sign‑in name directly from the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:

    1. Go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center
    2. Navigate to Users > Active users
    3. Select the affected user account
    4. Click Manage username and email
    5. Update the User name / Sign‑in name (UPN) to the new email address you want to use

    Important notes:

    • The new email domain must already be added and verified in your Microsoft 365 tenant.
    • Changing the UPN does not remove your mailbox, OneDrive data, or licenses.
    • Changing your Internet service provider does not automatically require a username change. This is an identity management setting within Microsoft 365.

    You can review the official Microsoft documentation here:
