1 Sign-in to your Skype account. 2 In the Account Details, click the Account settings link. 3 There you’ll find a section called Linked accounts, click unlink to get rid-off the merge between the Microsoft account and your Skype profile. Quick Tip: From this section, you can also unlink your Facebook account, if you’ve done that.
Since I already had a Skype account, which I have been using for business contacts, I decided to link to it. However, later I realized all my personal contacts were merged with the business account and even my business name was used for the Skype account which was very confusing for the personal contacts. So, I decided to delink the Skype account and create a new one for personal use.
It was a bit tedious to locate the unlink option. So, I contacted the Skype customer support with a request to unlink the Microsoft account from my Skype account. Later I figured out the option in the Skype Account Management page in Skype.com website.
If you are looking for the option to unlink your accounts, here are the steps:
Here's how you can add a device to your Microsoft account:
Sign in to your Microsoft account on an Xbox or Windows 10 device.
Sign in to the Microsoft Store on your Windows 10 PC.
Go to account.microsoft.com/devices, select Don't see your device?, then follow the instructions.
On an iOS device: Download Microsoft Edge from the Apple App Store and sign in with your Microsoft account.
On an Android device: Download Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Launcher, or Your Phone Companion from the Google Play Store and sign in with your Microsoft account.
MacOS devices can't be added at this time.
Register a device to see its warranty
