Link personal Microsoft account with work/school account – option not available

Question

I am trying to link my personal Microsoft account with my work or school Microsoft account for Microsoft Rewards. I followed the official Microsoft instructions, but I cannot find the option or page to link the accounts.

I already contacted Microsoft Rewards support, and they advised me to contact Microsoft Account support for further assistance.

Please help me locate the account linking option or confirm whether this feature is available for my account. If additional steps are required, please provide guidance.

This is short, clear, and avoids sharing private information.

Hi Sugavaneshwaran S

Based on the current experience, personal Microsoft accounts and work or school (education) accounts are managed as separate account types, and an option to link or merge these accounts is not available.

Since these account types are handled under different systems, features and options available for one do not apply to the other, which explains why a linking option cannot be found.

This is not related to a missing step or an account-specific issue, but rather how the account types are structured. Microsoft Account Support would be best positioned to confirm this behavior.

If needed, you may continue using each account separately depending on the service requirements.

I hope this information helps.
