From what I can tell, when they took over Skype, they created Microsoft accounts for all existing Skype users, even if they already had a Microsoft account. So now I have my old one that has all my correct info except my Skype username is "live:blamo_13" & I have the one from Skype that I never filled out completely where my name is "Greenguy Greenguy". Then they asked me to add my email address to the Skype account. I looked real quick & it's my Gmail, so I put that in there & it kicks me back saying that email address is already associated with with a Microsoft account. I go thru the rest of my emails & same thing. I got fed up & just put a made up email address in there & now that's my Skype email & in order to change it, I 1st need to click the verification link the sent to the made up email address

BTW: Simple solution from the get-go would've been to merge them in the 1st place, right?
