Transferring my company domain from 'BT' Office 365 to 'Microsoft' Office 365

My company has recently subscribed to Office 365 directly with Microsoft and I need to add my comapny domain name to that account. Unfortuantely my company domain is currently registered to 'another' Office 365 account (ref. bt******pop.onmicrosoft.com), which I assume is my 'BT' office 'light' 365 account, set up as part of my BT Buisness package to just manage emails.  I am looking to retain my website hosting with BT. Can I access my company 'BT' Office 365 account directlly as an administrator to delete the domain and then hopefully reasign it to my 'Microsoft' Office 365 ?  I am obviously trying to do this without losing any email connectivity.

Thanks

Hi Marcus,

 

To remove your domain from Office 365 only you need to de-activate all the users.

 

We recommend you back up your e-mail first.

You can then de-active the e-mail users, more details can be found on the link below.

Once the last domain user has been removed, the domain is automatically removed from our Microsoft account.
