How to get all my hotmail mail into outlook.com

I asked another question (here) that is better suited with the current subject.

I have had a Hotmail email account for years, and I receive emails right up to now via Outlook Connector is Outlook 2010 desktop. Sometime in the past year or so (I'm guessing April 2012, based on email with subject 'Welcome to Outlook.com Preview') , an Outlook.com account was established. It has only 4 emails, and appears to have been created "on behalf of" *** Email address is removed for privacy *** - so I guess it is not linked to my Hotmail account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

How to I transition my entire Hotmail email content (some hundreds of emails, which I can see in desktop Outlook 2010) into the web-based Outlook.com? Should I (somehow) create an account in outlook.com which uses my existing email address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)?

ie, What can I do to get all my Hotmail emails in the same place?

EDIT

I think I have found an effective answer to this question, and others that relate to it (ie, that I would have asked, next) - in the suggestions panel at right. (link)
