Default Outlook upgrade does/doesn’t upgrade your @hotmail.com address to @outlook.com addr.?

I have had a hotmail account for years that was recently upgraded to the outlook user interface. I thought my existing hotmail account, whatever @hotmail.com, would now also work as whatever @outlook.com. (that this upgrade happened when the user interface upgrade happened). But I emailed myself @outlook.com and I got back a delivery notification failure.

Basically I want to start using an @outlook.com address but want it with all my old emails and info from my "old" hotmail account. Is this not possible? Can one only create a new @outlook.com address and start using it? Thanks to anyone who can help.

• Go to the Outlook.com Login page.
• Now, just log in using your @hotmail.com email address and password.
• After you login, you’ll see a Welcome message.
• Click the Continue to inbox button.

Now you are done .Once you have made the upgrade, you’ll find that all of your email messages and contacts are just as they were in Hotmail.com
