If you are using a Microsoft account to log on when you set up Windows, that would be great!

What is it

Have you ever used Outlook.com, Hotmail, Office 365, OneDrive, Skype, Xbox, or Windows? The e-mail addresses and passwords that are used to log on to these services are Microsoft accounts. If not, you can easily create a free e-mail account on outlook.com and use it as your new Microsoft account.

With Microsoft accounts, you can not only access applications and games from the Windows store, but also view your settings and other content on multiple Windows 10 devices. Read more about the advantages of Microsoft accounts.

How to log In
