What is the Mineplex IP in Minecraft?

Do you have an old email address that you do not use now?

If yes, you should change your email address on Nintendo.

This process will allow you to get updates from Nintendo to your new email address instead of your outdated email.

If you have access to your old email, you can update your email address on Nintendo.

Unluckily, if you have lost access to your old email address, you will not be able to change it.

The reason behind this is that you have to verify your email address whenever you try to make a security change.

If you no longer have access to it, you will not be able to get a verification code.

In this case, you will have to create a new Nintendo account.

In this article, I will tell you how to change your email address on Nintendo.

How to change your email address on Nintendo

To change your email address on Nintendo, the first thing you need to do is visit the Nintendo website and log in to your account.

After that, you can update your email address by using the “Edit” beside the “E-mail address” header.

You have to verify your old and new email addresses in order to change your email address.

it will also prove that you have access to both email addresses.

If you are not the owner of your old email address and you cannot access it, you won’t be able to change it.

The reason behind this is that you won’t be able to receive a verification code.

In this case, as a last resort, you have to create a new Nintendo account from your new email address.

Here a step-by-step guide on how to change your Nintendo email address:

Step 1. Go to the Nintendo website & click on “Log in / Sign up”

The first thing you need to do is to go to the Nintendo website.

First of all, visit Google and search for the term “Nintendo”.

After that, click on the search result that has the title, “Nintendo – Official Site”.

On the other hand, you can go to Nintendo’s website by using this link: https://www.nintendo.com/.

After reaching the site, it will show you a “Log in / Sign up” icon on the top bar.

To visit the login and sign-up page of Nintendo, you need to click on “Log in / Sign up”.

Step 2. Click on “Sign in”

After clicking on the “Log in / Sign up” icon, it will take you to the login and sign-up page of Nintendo.

It will show you a couple of buttons on the page.

The options are “Sign in” and “Create a Nintendo Account”.

The “Sign in” button is available for users who are already members and want to sign in to their Nintendo account.

Alternatively, the “Create a Nintendo Account” is for new users who want to create a Nintendo account to sign in.

Since you want to change your email address on Nintendo, you will click on “Sign in”.

Step 3. Sign in to your Nintendo account

After clicking on “Sign in”, it will take you to the sign-in page of Nintendo.

After that, the next step is to sign in to your Nintendo account.

It will show you a couple of fields on the sign-in page.

The fields are “E-mail address/Sign-in ID” field and the “Password”.

If you used your email address to create your Nintendo account, you will use the email and password to sign in.

Provide your email address and password in the fields, and click on “Sign in” to sign in.

Alternatively, if you’ve used Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Apple to create your Nintendo account, you will use the same process to sign in.

Step 4. Edit your email address

After signing in to your Nintendo account, it will take you to your user info.

It will show your profile information on your user info.

The information will be your nickname, date of birth, gender, and more.

In the “E-mail address” section, it will also display your email address.

You’ll see an “Edit” button available beside the “E-mail address” header.

To edit your Nintendo email address, you have to click on “Edit”.

Step 5. Click on “Submit”

After clicking on “Edit”, it will take you to the “E-mail address verification” page.

The page will tell you that you need to verify your e-mail address to continue.

It will also show your current email that is linked to your Nintendo account.

To verify your old email, you need to click on “Submit”.

Step 6. Verify your old email

After clicking on “Submit”, it will show you a “Verification code” field.

It says that a verification code has been sent to your old email address.

For the verification code, you need to check your old email and copy the code.

You will receive the code in less than 5 minutes.

If you do not receive it, you should check your junk and spam mail as it might have gone there.

On the other hand, you can also resent the code by clicking on the “Resend verification code” link.

After copying the verification code, paste it in the “Verification code” field.

After that, click on “Submit” in order to verify your old email address.

Step 7. Enter the new email address

After verifying your old email address, it will give you a “New e-mail address” field.

Now, you will provide the new email address that you want to use for your account.

In the “New e-mail address” field, you will enter the new email address that you wish to switch to.

It is my recommendation that you should choose an email service that can be used from a PC or a web browser.

After entering the new email address, you need to click on “Submit” to confirm it.

Step 8. Verify your new email address

After entering the new email address, the next step you need to perform is to verify it.

You will receive a verification code to your new email address.

For the verification code, you need to check your new email address and copy the code.

After that, in the “Verification code” field, paste it.

If you have not received the code to verify it for 5 minutes, you need to click on the “Resend verification code” link available below the “Submit” button.

After pasting the verification code, the next thing is to click on “Submit” to verify your new email address.

You have successfully verified your old as well as new email address, your email address on Nintendo will be changed too!

Final Words

As you have read in this article you need to verify your email addresses to change them.

First of all, you have to verify your old email address in order to prove that you are the owner.

After that, you need to verify your new email address to prove that too.

The system will send a verification code to your old and new email addresses respectively.

If you didn’t receive it, go to your junk and spam mail to check it.

To resend the verification code, you can use the “Resend verification code” button.

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter that helps the players to explore the styles and skills on this platform.

To play the game, you should be instant when it comes to decision making and shooting abilities.

You can take part in different game modes such as Competitive, Unranked, Deathmatch, and Spike Rush.

In July, many users are not able to launch the game due to a Virtualization-based security (VBS) update.

The update does not allow the system to use it that did not enable UEFI and TPM 2.0 from launching Valorant.

In this article, I will tell you how to fix “This build of Vanguard requires TPM 2.0 and secure boot” in Valorant.

Why does Vanguard require TPM 2.0?

TPM 2.0 is one of the requirements you have to meet in order to run Valorant on your machine.

You are getting this error because you have not updated your BIOS mode to UEFI and enabled TPM 2.0.

UEFI gives enhanced security features while TPM 2.0 has security for cryptographic operations.

If your system is not supporting those features, the best bet is to disable virtualization-based security (VBS) for this.

How to Fix “This build of Vanguard requires TPM 2.0” in Valorant

To fix the “This build of Vanguard requires TPM 2.0” error in Valorant, the first solution is to enable UEFI and TPM 2.0.

If your system is not supporting those features, the only way is to disable virtualization-based security (VBS) for this.

Solution 1: Enable UEFI and TPM 2.0

1. Restart your computer and press the BIOS key (for instance, F2 or DEL).
2. Follow these steps: Boot > Boot Mode > UEFI.
3. Security > Set Supervisor Password > Enter New Password (for example, 456).
4. Security > Change TPM (TCM) State > Enabled.
5. Exit > Exit Saving Changes > Yes.

#1 Tip: The BIOS key is unique for every system—to find the correct key, you need to perform a search for “BIOS key for x” on Google (for instance, BIOS key for HP laptop).

#2 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “msinfo32” and find out if your system supports UEFI, opening it, and checking if the BIOS Mode is UEFI.

#3 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “tpm.msc” to find out if your system supports TPM 2.0, open it, and check if the status is “The TPM is ready for use”.

#4 Tip: If the BIOS Mode is not UEFI and your system does not support TPM 2.0, move on to the next method and skip this one.

Solution 2: Disable VBS

1. Search for “CMD” by using windows search.
2. Right-click the command prompt to select “Run as administrator”.
3. Type “bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off” there and hit enter.
4. Reboot your PC or laptop, use Windows Search, and search for “Core Isolation”.
5. Turn off “Memory Integrity” and reboot your PC.

Note: You can use the Windows search by searching for “msinfo32” to find out if VBS is disabled, opening it, and finding “Virtualization-based security”.

Solution 3: Enable Secure Boot

1. Restart your laptop and press the BIOS key (use the keys: F2 or DEL).
2. For Alienware, Inspiron, and Vostro, use these steps: visit Secure Boot > change Secure Boot to Enabled > press F10 to save and exit.
3. For OptiPlex, Precision, Wyse, and XPS, use these steps: visit Secure Boot > Secure Boot Enable > Check Secure Boot Enable > Apply > Exit > Save

Note: You can use the Windows search by searching for “msinfo32” to find out if Secure Boot is enabled, opening it, and checking if “Secure Boot State” is “On”.

3. Security > Set Supervisor Password > Enter New Password (for example, 456).
4. Security > Change TPM (TCM) State > Enabled.
5. Exit > Exit Saving Changes > Yes.

#1 Tip: The BIOS key is unique for every system—to find the correct key, you need to perform a search for “BIOS key for x” on Google (for instance, BIOS key for HP laptop).

#2 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “msinfo32” and find out if your system supports UEFI, opening it, and checking if the BIOS Mode is UEFI.

#3 Tip: Use the Windows search to search for “tpm.msc” to find out if your system supports TPM 2.0, open it, and check if the status is “The TPM is ready for use”.

#4 Tip: If the BIOS Mode is not UEFI and your system does not support TPM 2.0, move on to the next method and skip this one.

Solution 2: Disable VBS

1. Search for “CMD” by using Windows search.
2. Right-click the command prompt to select “Run as administrator”.
3. Type “bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off” there and hit enter.
4. Reboot your PC or laptop, use Windows Search, and search for “Core Isolation”.
5. Turn off “Memory Integrity” and reboot your PC.

Note: You can use the Windows search by searching for “msinfo32” to find out if VBS is disabled, opening it, and finding “Virtualization-based security”.
