Hello all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to merge Microsoft accounts, and if so, how to do it? The account I use on my computers is an old Gmail account which I use a junkmail. I would like to switch to my new professional outlook acount, which I created before I wanted to use it on my computers. When I try to add the outlook account, Microsoft claims the email is already in use (which I suppose is true). Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

do you want to merge users or just email accounts?

what are you trying to add it to?

If its a logon you can't have two users with same email address on the same PC (I tried that recently) but you can make an offline account without an email and link it to the email account via onedrive and potentially outlook (I don't know as I don't use outlook)

If its accounts, I doubt we see Google and Microsoft merge into one account unless one buys other

why not use the professional outlook account on outlook and use the gmail web client for google?
