:D I got mine, just got back from the cinema and noticed the page was down when i was going to register one for my first name and get my dad one too with his first name. Does anyone know if it will be possible to merge both accounts of e-mails from my "@hotmail.co.uk" address will be forwarded to my "@live.co.uk" account and all my existing e-mails will be sent too? I've got some important e-mails that I need to keep.

Im guessing there ganna completely phase hotmail out eventually, So more than likely hotmail will completely merge into windows live mail. Meaning, hotmail.com will point to live.com. So therefore, more than likely all hotmail account will be swapped to @live or @windowslive domains.

Otherwise, there ganna have there massive DB of hotmail users and this new small live DB....Id say they will merge.

People are signing up for Live.com names that may be already taken by someone using Hotmail. I don't think they can just move [email protected] to [email protected].

No of course they can't do that. I guess when the time comes to move It'll give options as to whether you want a new address or stick with the @hotmail.com one.

That is true, but i don't beleve they will have 2 seperate services. If there smart, they'll give the option to transfer in the future.

Question: If you got into the new live account signup, those american accounts are assigned 2 gigs of space? How is this known? There no disk space status bar on live, yet. Would be nice if this is permant, however im thinking when it goes public we'll be reverted to the usual 250mb. They might be trying to compete with G-mail though, so never know.

manduck: yes you choose "register a new ID" then you input an existing NON-HOTMAIL/LIVE MAIL email address (for example [email protected])

this will register it for passport, then follow the other steps and change the address to @live.com

Then the non-hotmail / live mail address will be disassociated from Passport and you have a nice new @live.com email :D

there currently is no way to get it to forward to your existing hotmail / live mail account :p

Thankssss soooooo muchhh....finally got it! thankkz!

I went through the hole process but when I get to

>Paste https://account.live.com/LoginChangeName.aspx to address bar, then your can change your passport to @live.com.

I get a Page not Found error:

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By Steven P. · Posted

      At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By Captain_Eric · Posted

      I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
