Merge two Outlook.com accounts, the 30 Days way

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I understand that directly merging two Microsoft Accounts are not possible. But I would like to know if there are any workarounds. I have a proposal but I am not sure if this is good enough. I have two accounts like account A (hotmail.com) and B (outlook.com). I want to retain the account B and throw away account A but the only good about A is that I have 25GB of Skydrive space whereas B has only 7GB.

I created an alias for A named C (outlook.com) and made C as primary. So basically I now have B & C (both outlook.com).
Now my question is if I follow the below process would it help me to get the email address of B into C?
1. Create an alias for B and name it D (outlook.com) and make it primary.
2. Remove the Alias B (which I ultimately want to retain).
3. Wait for 30 days for this ID to be available again.
4. Create a new Alias for Account C with the email address of B.
5. Make the alias B as primary and delete the alias C.

The process is -- 
A (hotmail) --> C (outlook) -------after 30 days-------------------> Create Alias B --> Delete C.
B (outlook)  --> D (outlook) --> Delete B --> Wait for 30 Days ----------> Delete D.

Will this work and at exactly what time of the 30th day would my email id be free, is there a particular time of the day or its exactly 24Hrs * 30 Days?
