Question asked on Aug 2, 2013
I have one of those fantastic free 25GB SkyDrive accounts, and I have an @live.com email address. I don't use the email address anymore, and have switched to another platform. I know that, at one point, I could have (did, actually) closed my email account, but still kept my LiveID active, which included SkyDrive. That was back before the rebrand, though.

What I want to do is this: close the @live.com email account, but keep my SkyDrive. I want to be able to change my LiveID so that I log in with my new email account from the other platform, which I know can be done when creating a new LiveID. Can I do this? If I go to my inbox > click my name > Account settings > Overview > Close account, will that also close my access to SkyDrive?
