Microsoft trying to recover wrong email?

I'm trying to recover an old email account that I forgot the password to and the only way I can get in the through the password recovery. So I went through all the steps and entered all the info I could which wasn't much and my recovery was denied but in the denial email it has a different email that it thinks I'm trying to recover!

It's like "what email are you trying to recover" oldlostemail@outlook.com then it's like "Your're recovery account request for someothemail@live.com was denied"

That's not the email I told it I was trying to recover! That's the other email I can't get into. X'D Its not even important I just really wanted to see some old stuff but I don't understand at all why it thinks I want in the other email

Search results on facebook is only showing me posts I've seen before

Is this happening to anyone else? For the past week or so no matter what I search on facebook 98% of the results are posts I've looked at within the past month and nothing at all about what I'm looking for! Why is it doing that it's so frustrating! I've always hated facebook but its becoming unusable.

I guess there's no way to fix it either?

Online Storage that asks about duplicated file names?

Bit of an odd question. Anyone know of a online storage option where none of the files can have the same name? So like in Windows if I add a bunch of files which have the same name it will ask me "do you want to replace, skip, or decide for each"

This probably sounds stupid but my reason is it would save me hours and hours of updating my online backup. I use Dropbox now and it is so unbelievably frustrating not having it ask that. I want to take everything in a folder, plop it into the browser and be able to tell it to only add the files with names that aren't already there I.E. new ones.

Why is a metal container not safe to store rechargeable batteries?

I know this has been discussed before but I'd like to rehash it because I still don't understand. There have been many house fires nearby lately and more than one has been started by rechargeable batteries like for drills and other tools. Now I'm paranoid.

Why is a metal container not better then nothing? I see people saying its' worse. I'm pretty sure I get how short circuiting works, but I feel like it would be extremely difficult to accidently do that on a container. It's not like the metal in the ports are exposed in a way that they'd touch the metal, or am I missing something?

I know metal can be melted through, but a thick enough metal must be able to withstand a couple drill batteries? Is there a better alternative? I've half a mind to build a box with a roof and it can live in the yard away from the house.

I read someone installed a woodstove to keep them in which is an awesome idea, though a bit extreme. I had a sketchy GoPro battery living in my stove at the moment.

Good resource to figure out why my PC is slow?

I'm not super computer literate, and I see similar questions have been asked so instead of aksing my MY computer is slow, can someone direct me to a thread or webpage that can help me figure out what hardware I need to upgrade or what the problem might be? I can't find much better than "check how much disk space you have" and "pause large downloads" which is not the kind of help I need.
