Important Notes:

Before closing your Hotmail account, make sure you have forwarded all your important emails to your new account.
If you're using a Microsoft account (e.g., Outlook.com, Live.com, or MSN.com) to access your Hotmail account, you'll need to sign in to that account to close it.
Closing your Hotmail account will also close your Microsoft account, so make sure you're prepared to lose access to any other Microsoft services you're using with that account.
If you're having trouble closing your account, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance.

Remember to regularly check your new email account for any forwarded emails from your Hotmail account.
