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,

    how did you do this? I have the same issue; I have an XBoxOne account and a Windows365 account and would like to merge them and have not found a way to do that.

    I have never managed to merge the accounts. None of the solutions posted have worked for me.

    the link in step 1 does not work.

    Of course this was a 2013 answer when Microsoft Account and Windows Live account was managed independently. 

    Then outlook.com was created passport closed etc...

    To have a family member don't merge the information, this is for family member so they can login on you're computer. 

    If you link a family member you'll see them in the user list and they'll be capable to login
