How to change your Facebook email on the computer

Changing your email address on Facebook takes literally a couple of minutes and is very simple to do.

After signing in to Facebook, go to Settings–>Account Settings–>General. Or click here to be taken directly there.

Click the Edit button on the right-hand side of Contact.

To change the primary email address, you must add at least one other email address. So click Add another email address or mobile number and enter the new email address. You will then be asked to enter your password to confirm the address addition.

Facebook will send you an email, asking you to click on a link to confirm the new address. Once you do that, the new email address becomes the primary email address. The old address will now become the secondary backup one, and you can delete it if you want.
