Hello,
I bought a new computer last year, and with it came a year of Microsoft for free. However, the free trial is over so I decide to buy Microsoft, it was then that I saw that a student discount existed. I subscribe for it but I had to sing up with the university email and now I have two account MIcrosoft and I would like two link them.
What can I do?
Thank you

    @Awa Charron ,

    As far as I know, after June 2013, it is no longer possible to link/merge a Microsoft account to another Microsoft account as the reason of security.

    However, you can change the way you sign in by adding aliases to your Microsoft account. An alias is like a nickname for your account that can be an email address, phone number. It uses the same inbox, contact list, and account settings as the primary alias. You can sign in to your account with any alias, and you only have to remember a single password for all of them.

    • Sign in to the Microsoft account.
    • Select Your info > Manage how you sign in to Microsoft > Add email, add a email-address you already have.

    More detailed information, please refer to "Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account".
