    Hi fesiol,

     

    Unfortunately, the email address on an Acer ID account cannot be changed. What you can do, is unregister your product from the previous account and create your new Acer ID. Once you've done so, you could send me a message and we'll work on updating your community account as well.

     

    Hope this helps,
    Cory

    How do you unregiter the account to create a new one with the correct email?

    That is beyond ridiculous. Not your answer, just the fact that ACER is so useless. The email address that ACER has has not worked in two years. I've tried to change it before. Since I'm pretty sure that trying to register a laptop that's been out of warranty for two years will only result in unregistering it completely, I won't try that. What I will do is go back to HP. I've never encountered such a useless company in all my time with computers, scanners, printers, etc. 

    I wish someone had warned me what a step down it would be to go from hp to ACER, in the computer itself, but especially in trying to ever get any help with anything.

    It appears there is still no way to change your email address for the Acer ID.   This is really dumb!  At least let a customer add additional email addresses.

    I'm closing the old email this year. I've updated most of my other online sites, but not here.  But I'll be stuck with it on this site because... why? Perhaps the Acer web programmers don't know how to solve the issue.

    I too have to change my email address (thanks to Orange/freeserve etc closing their service)

    I have tried following the links (shown in other messages) to leave a private message but when the new window opens I cannot input any text.

    Anyone have an idea why this is? Could it be my Internet Security software preventing me?

    Hi malcken,

     

    I'm sorry you're having problems with sending a private message; I'm unsure why it's not allowing you to from the direct links.  Let me give you a link to the profile page of Acer-Karp, who is now the person to contact about address changes:

     

    Acer-Karp (https://community.acer.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/181739)

     

    Once you're on the profile page, just click the "Send a message" link from the right-hand side and you should be able to send a PM that way.

     

    If you have any issues with it, please let me know!

    I too would like to change my email address for my Acer account since Verizon is discontinuing its email service.  I have tried all the links in this message board and NONE of them work.  

     

    How can a computer company have such difficulty resolving this issue?  I have changed my email address on over a hundred web sites in the past week without encountering such a problem.
