Here Are Some Things You Can Say to Cortana:
• How old are you?
• Tell me a joke.
• Show me the latest NBA scores.
• How many calories in a boiled egg?
• Put swimming on my calendar for tomorrow.
• Change my 3 PM event to 4.
• What’s happening this weekend?
Try This: Set a Reminder
One of the things Cortana can do for you is to give you reminders. For example, type or
say, “Remind me to call Alex at 2 PM.” Make the meeting recurring if you want to. The
reminder will appear at 2 PM, along with any info you’ve added to it.
Hey Cortana!
Set Cortana to hear you anytime you say “Hey Cortana.” Select the search box on the
taskbar to open Cortana home. Then select Notebook > Settings and turn on Let
Cortana respond when you say “Hey Cortana.”
Cortana is only available in certain countries/regions, and some Cortana features might
not be available everywhere. If Cortana isn’t available or is turned off, you can still use
search.
Sign In With a Microsoft Account
If you signed in with your Microsoft account when you set up Windows, hooray!
If not, that’s OK—you can sign in any time. And if you’re not quite sure what a Microsoft
account is, read on.
What it is?
Have you ever used Outlook.com, Hotmail, Office 365, OneDrive, Skype, Xbox,
or Windows? The email address and password you use for any of those services is your
Microsoft account. If not, it’s easy to create a free email account at Outlook.com and
make that your new Microsoft account.
