    Windows forced me to create and use a new Outlook account, rather than my actual Hotmail...


    I just bought a Surface laptop. When I logged in, I tried to enter my email account, for example "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" but wasn't allowed. Rather a new "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" account was created. When I open the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account, none of my "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" account information is showing up. I've had the hotmail account for around 20+ years, and I really don't want to change it. And, now my OneDrive folder is mapping to the Outlook account rather than my Hotmail account, where I want everything. Can you please tell me how to:

    1 update the admin account from the new "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" account to my current/correct "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" account?

    2 tell me how to map OneDrive in File Explorer so it is not going to "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" and is pointing to "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"


    Thank you!

    :)

    hotmail is now outlook

    Hotmail users can now upgrade to outlook layout.It looks like windows 8 menus. It's very fast now using outlook over the previous layout.


    look in your hotmail/live for this email. Outlook.co​m Team "You've changed. Shouldn't your inbox?"‏

    you can upgrade from within and create new alias's too.
