Later I figured out the option in the Skype Account Management page in website. So, I contacted the Skype customer support with a request to unlink the Microsoft account from my Skype account. It was a bit tedious to locate the unlink option.

So, I decided to delink the Skype account and create a new one for personal use. However, later I realized all my personal contacts were merged with the business account and even my business name was used for the Skype account which was very confusing for the personal contacts. Since I already had a Skype account, which I have been using for business contacts, I decided to link to it. I had the option to create a new Skype account or link to an existing account. I was recently prompted to upgrade my Messenger account to Skype account. Last year, Microsoft acquired Skype and announced the retirement of Windows Live Messenger to give way for Skype as the future instant messenger.
