Key Transfer Requirements and Restrictions
Eligible Account Types for Transfer:
Azure subscription ownership can only be transferred between Microsoft Online
Service Program (MOSP) accounts
Both the source and target accounts must be billing administrators of their
respective accounts
The transfer must be to another MOSP account (pay-as-you-go type accounts)
Account Type Analysis:
contoso.com account ✅ ELIGIBLE
This is an Azure AD tenant account associated with the subscription
Can serve as a billing administrator account
Meets MOSP account requirements
fabrikam.com account ❌ NOT ELIGIBLE
While this is an Azure AD tenant account, it's in a different tenant
Cross-tenant transfers require special procedures and cannot be done through
standard Azure Account Center transfer
Hotmail account ❌ NOT ELIGIBLE
Personal Microsoft accounts (Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com) cannot receive billing
ownership transfers through Azure Account Center
These are consumer accounts, not billing administrator accounts for Azure
subscriptions
OpenID-enabled user account ❌ NOT ELIGIBLE
OpenID accounts are authentication providers, not Azure billing accounts
Cannot serve as billing administrators for Azure subscriptions
Important Transfer Restrictions
Microsoft Account Limitations:
You cannot transfer subscriptions to Microsoft Entra B2B or Azure B2C tenants
Personal Microsoft accounts (Hotmail, Live, etc.) cannot be target accounts for
billing ownership transfers
Cross-Tenant Transfer Requirements:
Transferring to accounts in different Azure AD tenants (like fabrikam.com) requires
additional steps beyond simple Account Center transfers
Such transfers typically require guest user invitations and special procedures
Account Administrator Requirements:
Only the account administrator of an account can transfer ownership of a
subscription
The recipient must be a billing administrator of the target account
The Azure Account Center's standard subscription transfer functionality is designed
for transfers within the same tenant or to accounts that can serve as proper Azure
billing administrators, which excludes personal Microsoft accounts, OpenID
providers, and requires special procedures for cross-tenant scenarios.
Please always make sure that you have read the condition of the question carefully.
In this question, questions asks from us to which account can we transfer the
ownership of Subscription-1, it does not tell to where can we transfer the
subscription, It asks about changing the ownership of subscription within the Entra
ID (now called) this case we need to use contonso only.
A lot of guys say answer is C, please not that it does not asks about transferring
