Your data will not be lost if you proceed as below. See the instructions below.

 

Change your Apple ID (Be very aware of the restrictions here.) https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667

 

Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple  services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above document under the heading Before you change

your Apple ID.

 

 

For sign out purposes, see Where can I use my Apple ID? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659“This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice.
