Account Question

I apologize if this has been answered already...

I got my first android phone about 4 1/2 years ago and I registered my account to a gmail account that I haven't used for over 4 years now.

I have been using a different account for the past 4 years and would like to use that account as my primary on all future devices, phones and tablets.

4 1/2 years ago I originally registered as "doe.john@gmail.com" , but have since been using "john.doe@gmail.com" for the past 4 years. If I switch the primary account on my phone, will I lose everything such as purchased apps, etc...?

Thanks in advance for any help.
