Changing account on android 6.0

Hi,

I have a LG G4 running on Android 6.0, my account on my phone use a cogeco cable email adress.
In few days i will no longer be with cegeco then this email adress will no longer exist.

I create a Gmail adress and now i want to link my phone to my new adress, how can i do that.
It look like the only way is to factory reset the phone and loose everything??

Thanks for any help!

Also, on top of that - I don't believe there's a way to change the email address on your Google Play account, so all those purchased apps go bye bye. At least, that's the way it was a few years ago when I changed my main email address.

Edit: I stand corrected - looks like you can Add an alternate email address now, and login using that email instead. And then hopefully you can remove the invalid email address on your Google account afterwards.
