I have had this computer for 4 months and did not create an Outlook account since I have a Hotmail one and do not wish to change.  Now that I upgraded to the latest Windows 8.1(?) I thought I would add the Outlook account as prompted in the setup.  I now have 2 problems: 1. I cannot log in to my computer with out a (Outlook) password first, and second, I cannot access my Hotmail email. 

Any attempt to put in www.Hotmail.com to sign in only takes me to my (new) Outlook.com account.   Under the heading of adding "Alias's" it says that you cannot use a Hotmail account as an ailias???  Really?  In that case I would like to remove my Outlook account, but under the removal procedure it says you will permanently loose all Hotmail emails and contacts? 

What did I do wrong?  How can I undo this?

Thanks!
