N-O No
I have used my @hotmail account as my primary email account since I created it when it was known as HoTMaiL and was owned by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith before they sold it to Microsoft. It has continued to work through Redmond's frequent renames - MSN Hotmail, Windows Live Mail and Outlook. No point in you changing it, one day they will probably revert to calling it HoTMaiL again. Rellwood@hotmail.com and Rellwood@outlook.com are aliases to the same account on the same service.
I have never never lost anything from my hotmail account. Unlike Gmail, a UK ISP mail account which both lost mail, and I lost everything I had at Lavabit when the NSA shut it down (because Snowden used it).
