I have been told to come here and post my issue. I have a hotmail account and when I tried to log on was told I needed to make an Outlook account and all my contacts and emails from my hotmail account would be there. When I made the account there was no contacts, emails or folders from my hotmail account. I then went to link my accounts to my Outlook account this is the message I get
"It looks like you're trying to add another Outlook account. Try linking your Outlook accounts together to make switching between them fast and easy."

So I click on the link as it says and this is the answer I get.
