Old Skype Accounts BEFORE Microsoft...

All old Skype accounts are Microsoft accounts. Visit account.microsoft.com and sign in using your old Skype name(s). If you are currently signed in with another Microsoft account by its email address or phone number, sign out from that page. Once you sign out, sign back in using the old Skype name(s). Do that for all your accounts. If you have never signed back in since the migration you will be forced to create a new Microsoft email address to bind it to your account.

sooooo does that mean the old accounts are deleted then and can't get them back at all? cause if its deleted, im a little sad, but i just wanna know if it is gone-gone and not "oh you can still get it back".

I did not mention anything about deletions in my response. Accounts are only deleted if they are inactive for several years or if abuse is involved. All I suggested you do is sign in with your Skype name. If it is a legacy Skype name with no live:prefix, you will be able to sign in by name. Only if it states the account does not exist does that equate to the account being deleted or a typo on your part. If the old Skype name had a live:prefix email address then it would already be associated with a Microsoft email address or phone number. All you need to do is sign in with that email address or phone number to manage that live:prefixed Skype account. If the account is deleted, you would not be able to regain access.

To clarify my last sentence in my last response all older accounts that were created using external email addresses are forced to create a Microsoft email address (live, outlook, hotmail) if that account is still active. This is because all Microsoft accounts eventually need a Microsoft email address to be fully manageable including phone number created accounts. This action does not do anything to any existing email addresses associated with the Skype account. However, it would be wise to go to the security section of your account on account.microsoft.com to ensure your external email addresses are all on file for recovery purposes.

well thats the thing. it had a legacy name, no email as the username. the two first accounts were attached to my yahoo account for recovery only. every time i try logging in using the old username and passwords, i get the standard, username and password are incorrect even if im logged out of my microsoft account.

If you do not receive an error that the account does not exist then the account still exists. Since you are receiving a password error, what you recall does not currently match what is on file. You will need to reset your password. Have you tried resetting your password of the accounts you cannot sign into? You should have a forgot password or possibly even an email code option. Either option should allow you to reset your password assuming the email address you provide matches with what is on file.
