I would like to add all my school account to my personal account no longer in school

Answer 1

Hi GLORIA CASEY LOVE,

Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

From my understanding, you would like to combine inactive school accounts with your personal Microsoft account so that you can continue accessing the data. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not support merging or converting a school/work account into a personal Microsoft account.

However, if you still have access to the school account, you can manually move the data as follows:

1/ Manually move OneDrive files

• Sign in to the school account.
• Download files from OneDrive.
• Sign in to your personal Microsoft account.
• Upload the files to your personal OneDrive.

2/ Share files between accounts

• From the school account, share OneDrive folders with your personal account.
• Sign in to the personal account and copy the shared files into your own OneDrive.

3/ Export emails (using Outlook classic desktop)

• Add both the school account and personal account to Outlook desktop.
• Export the school mailbox to a PST file.
• Import the PST file into the personal mailbox.

4/ Contact your school IT administrator

If you no longer have access to your school account or it has already been disabled, we recommend contacting your school’s IT administrator for further support. You can ask them to:

• Temporarily re-enable the school accounts (if possible) so you can sign in and retrieve the data.
• Export the mailbox content (emails, calendar, contacts) and provide it as a PST file.
• Export the OneDrive data and share it with you or provide a downloadable copy.

I hope the information above is helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.

To combine all your school accounts into your personal account on Microsoft Learn, you can perform a profile merge. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Choose a profile to sign into: Log in to the personal account you want to keep.
2. Add your school accounts: In the login account management section, select "add login account" and sign in to your school account. If this account is associated with another Learn profile, it will trigger a profile merge.
3. Merge process: All contents from the school account will be brought into your personal account, and any duplicate content will be removed.

Keep in mind that merging profiles cannot be undone, so ensure that you want to combine the accounts before proceeding. Also, you can only merge profiles if one of them contains a personal Microsoft account.

It's also recommended to maintain access to your personal account to ensure you do not lose access to your learning data in the future.
