I messed up with my Microsoft Account(s).
I had no idea I would end up using it so much. I had previously setup a work account to install an application. Did almost nothing else with it except used it to post a couple forum question in the past. I recently bought Windows 8.1 Pro for my home PC and set it up with my personal email account. I have since used the account for some training and completed some courses. Now I am instructed that my boss wants me to use my work address for training. I was trying to get the two accounts either merged or associated in some way. I was unable to but found I could add other email addresses or aliases to an account, so I tried adding the work account email address to the personal one. This would not work because it was "taken". So I deactivated the work account and tried to add the email address as a alias of my personal account. It still says that it is taken. If I try to access the work account it says it does not exist.
I would like to get my work email address "associated" with my personal Microsoft account.
