How to Switch from Hotmail to Outlook

Microsoft create the email Outlook.com with the idea to migrate towards it, gradually, to all Hotmail users. To help them decide, Outlook.com has a very striking appearance and, according to Microsoft, with significant improvements in relation to safety.

Users wanting and doing step www.outlook.com Hotmail simply must and know how to switch from Hotmail to Outlook:

• Open your Hotmail account.
• Go to the Options menu and select Upgrade to Outlook, and then click Update to Outlook.
• Ready! Hotmail account has been upgraded to Outlook.com.

It is important to remember that change does not imply Outlook.com automatically changed de@hotmail.com to @outlook.com. To change the email to @hotmail.com by @outlook.com you must make, when outlook login:

• Click the Settings icon and select More mail settings.
• Go to Administer your account and click Change the name of your email address (it is likely to require input to the account).
• Done! Account already migrated to @Outlook.com.

To upgrade your account contacts, photos and Office documents in SkyDrive that the user had in Hotmail, will be transferred to the new ID (within a few days), being automatically added to Outlook.com. On the other hand, to enable the account with the ID Outlook.com Microsoft argues that continue to receive the messages that are sent to your Hotmail address.

Upon the change to Outlook.com, new messages are sent to the inbox and the old (those who arrived when the domain was @hotmail.com) may be kept separate in a separate folder.

Moreover, Microsoft has removed the option to return to Hotmail, for those who choose not to go to Outlook.com. However, this interface is very user friendly, very fast and dynamic and with greater protection and user safety. We recommend outlook mail.
