How to merge 2 Microsoft accounts?

Hello,

I created a Outlook email account and I have a other outlook email address that used to be a Hotmail address. Before I knew that you can rename a Outlook account I created another account with the same name. Is it possible to merge the two accounts.

Thanks,

    Hi cbaptist!

    To be clear, what I found only moves purchases from one Microsoft account to another:

    There are caveats to this approach, which are listed in the article.
