Migrating from Google Workspace with Multiple Domains

I am interested in switching from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 for Business. For context, I just use this personally, but enjoy the custom email and control over my account. I want to switch over because the only product that I use is Gmail, and pay for an additional Microsoft 365 subscription. While I won't be saving any money, or the savings will be negligible, it would be nice to have everything in one ecosystem. 

 

I've looked over how to migrate just one domain, and that seems fairly straight forward. However, I am wondering how feasible it would be to transfer multiple domains, and to switch my primary domain.

 

Below is the structure of my current Google Workspace domains:

- domain1.com | This is used as my primary domain that I log into. Also serves as my primary email.

- domain2.com | Used as an additional email alias for different purposes. Not used for logging in.

- domain3.com | Used as an additional email alias for different purposes. Not used for logging in.

 

If I wanted to keep domain1.com as my primary domain, I assume that I would do the standard migration and then add domain2.com and domain3.com as additional email aliases. However, I want to switch my primary domain in Microsoft 365 to domain2.com.

 

Is there any way to migrate emails from Google Workspace that's on domain1.com --> domain2.com via Microsoft 365 and make domain2.com the primary domain?

 

I know that this is a lot, so please ask for clarification if needed. Thanks!
