  1. I need to consolidate my devices onto 1 account


    I have 5 devices. I used to have more than 5 and had them on 2 accounts. when I took the other devices off line I moved them to just 1 account which then had all devices on it. For some reason they are not on the same account. One of the accounts is past due and the other is still good. I need have all my devices on one account and deleate the past due account.

    Consolidating multiple MS accounts

    Hi, I've seen that there was a conversation on here nearly 4 years ago about consolidating accounts or changing the accounts into a single account. The answer was at that time that it couldn't be done. Can you tell me whether you've managed to sort out
    this problem and if so, how do I consolidate my accounts so that I only have 1 microsoft account (if that's what I choose) which can be used across all of my devices and apps?

    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
