How to Merge or combine two (multiple) Microsoft, Hotmail or Outlook.com accounts.

If you have created two Microsoft (Hotmail or Outlook.com) accounts and now you are wondering how to combine or merge them so that you can have all your mail, SkyDrive files, windows settings or other subscriptions in one place, you are at the right place.  We have got a very easy solution for you.

  1. Go to outlook.com
  2. Sign in to your new Microsoft account
  3. Copy and paste this address into the same browser https://account.live.com/managelinks.aspx?mkt=en-pk
  4. Click on “add linked account”.

  2. And now they plan to take this facility away. Instead of the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' dictum Microsoft seems to be following the 'who cares about the users' principle. Let's hope enough people get angry about this that they will reconsider.

  3. In August, linked accounts will no longer be available so we do not recommend you link your accounts at this time.
    Your accounts will remain unchanged, but to switch between them, you’ll need to sign out of one and sign into the other

    This is the message we get now... Life made hard by microsoft .... again
    Please keep this service for good MS of atleast an alternative

  4. I have two outlook accounts and I had linked that account to prevent logging out and loggin in again. Now they have removed this facility, I want to make one alias of another. If I try to delete an account, it says 60 days of inactivity is required. Whats the alternative to merge two accounts?
