Hi,

Create a local account which is connecting your current Microsoft account, download all apps you already bought. Switch your account to local account then switch back to new Microsoft account. When you change to a new alias email address of your Microsoft account, you won't lose your old apps and keep all of your data you already installed.

In addition, you could also just switch Microsoft account from Windows store, so you could download apps you bought when login with other account.
