Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Could you please provide more information? What account was hacked please?

a school email cannot be used as a personal email, purchasing anything via a school email is a bad choice, once the school remove the email address or disable it which is most likely what they have done then no account changes can be made, don't forget that account does not belong to you it belongs to the school, you should have created your own outlook account for personal use, support won't be able to assist with this as technically the email is not your own home created one but that of the school.

I'm not at school, I'm using a personal laptop and my own Microsoft account. I have had school accounts linked to it in the past but not anymore.

Hello 7G_X, my name is Vanessa, i am happy to help you.

I'm sorry to hear that your account has been stolen, in this case the only solution is through the account recovery form which is as follows:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Keep in mind that this is the only alternative or solution to recover an account, support cannot help with this type of case because they are not authorized, leaving the form as an option, if the form cannot be filled out for some reason then Unfortunately the account cannot be recovered.

Let me also mention that this is a public forum for user-to-user support. We are users who help other users. We don't work for Microsoft and we don't have access to any user accounts, so there's nothing we can do or check from the forum.

I hope you manage to recover your account!

Kind regards
Vanessa.

Is it possible to change a School or Work account into a personal account please?
