Hi Arnold,
I'm pasting the text of a support article I copied from the Apple Support website after my signature discussing changing your Apple ID. You might also get the Apple Support app which I used to find this article. It sounds as if you won't lose anything by changing your Apple ID but I'd recommend you peruse the article and its links.

After I do, will everything still continue to work, being only that the email address I use will be different, or will such things as Apple Music tell me that I am trying to use content from another ID? I am just wanting to know what to expect before I wish I had known. Thanks in advance for any information.
