Can I still use live.com for my contacts 'hub' on Android?

I'm switching from a Lumia 1020 (Windows Phone 8.1) to a OnePlus3 (Android M I think). I bought into the MS live.com setup for contacts so all my contact phone numbers and addresses and facebook maappings are there, _however_ I also have a gmail account which is where all my email contacts are stored. I'm worried it's all going to be a big mess, I read this already: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/86105/switching-contacts-from-windows-phone-to-android?newreg=83cc95385d554764b7739e9dfdefe9b0 I did wonder though, do I have to use Google for my contacts on Android or can I continue with Live.com? Maybe that sounds a stupid idea (I'm new to android) but I do use OneNote extensively as well as Google Drive and Gmail so I have a foot in both camps. Is a manual dump of contacts the best way to go in 2016? I was rather expecting my new phone would let me sign into my live.com account and slurp all the contacts!
