Microsoft Alias for Windows Account

$

I have a hotmail.com account that I use for all my Windows devices. However, I've started transitioning all of my known online accounts to a new email. The reason for this is because my current email has my name in it and for privacy reasons, I am moving to a new email that does not have my name in it and is kind of a pun.

So, back to the post.

I created a Hotmail account with that name and tried to use that as an alias. However, I realized that you can't use a claimed email as an alias. So I thought, "No biggie! I'll just create a new account using the prompt." However, I soon realized that you can only create accounts using that option only as an @outlook.com domain.

While it's not completely necessary that I do this, I was wondering if there's any chance I could get the @hotmail.com domain to work with this?
