It is a pair of user name and associating password that you use to sign into Microsoft software and
services. If you use Microsoft services like OneDrive, Outlook.com, Xbox Live, Office 365, and
Skype, you might already have one. If you don't have one, be assured that creating one is easy and
free.
The benefits
There are two main benefits of using a Microsoft account:
•
Sign in only once. If you use a Microsoft account to sign into Windows 10, you don’t need to
sign in again to use OneDrive, Skype, Outlook.com, and other Microsoft services.
•
You're connected to all your devices. If you use your Microsoft account to sign into multiple
Windows-based devices, all the personalized settings will go with you.
Create a Microsoft account
If you don’t have a Microsoft account, you can create one. The user name for the Microsoft
account must be a valid e-mail address. To create a Microsoft, go to Microsoft’ssign-up page at
Microsoft.com/account.
Either way, you’ll be directed to Microsoft’s sign-up page for a Microsoft account. On the page,
you’re required to enter your e-mail address as the user name and set a password. You also need to
fill in some personal information. Before the account is created, you need to check your inbox for
a message from the Microsoft account team. Follow the instructions in the message to finish
setting up your account. If you don’t have an e-mail address, click
get a new email address
. This
way, you will get a Microsoft account and a Microsoft-hosted inbox at the same time.
Note
: The rationale for using an e-mail address as the user name is that it ensures each
Microsoft account is unique.
