When you switch your phone on for the first time, your phone guides you to set up your network
connections, phone settings, and Microsoft account in one sitting.
You need a Microsoft account to back up and restore your phone, to buy, install, and update apps,
and to access some Microsoft services, such as:
n
Xbox
n
OneDrive
n
Hotmail
n
Outlook
You can use the same username and password on your computer and phone.
1. Switch your phone on, and follow the instructions shown on your phone.
2. When asked, create your Microsoft account if you don’t have one already, or sign in with your
existing username and password.
Tip:
You can also create a Microsoft account later. On the start screen, swipe down from the top of
the screen, and tap
