How to Create Microsoft Account 2023
💡 How to Create Microsoft Account
Creating a Microsoft account
If you have a Hotmail account or any account that lets you use any other Microsoft service, like OneDrive or XBox Live, you already have a Microsoft account—just sign in with your existing account information.
To create a Microsoft account:
1. Go to login.live.com. Locate and select Sign up now.
2. The sign up form will appear. Follow the directions and enter the required information, such as your name, birth date, and gender.
3. Review the Microsoft Services Agreement and privacy statement, then click Create account.
4. Your Microsoft account is now created, and the account settings page will appear.
⚠️ Just like with any online service, it's important to choose a strong password—in other words, one that is difficult for someone else to guess.
Getting started
After you create a Microsoft account, you'll be taken to the Microsoft account settings page. To use the features and services of your Microsoft account, such as OneDrive or Messenger, you will first need to access your profile page.
To access the profile page:
1. Locate and select the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen, then select Edit profile from the drop-down menu.
2. The profile page will appear. From here, you can access the toolbar, which will help you navigate Microsoft's online services.
To use the toolbar:
✅ Click the drop-down arrow in the top-left corner to open a menu of Microsoft services: Mail (either Outlook or Hotmail), People (contacts), Calendar, and OneDrive (previously called SkyDrive). Simply click the service you want to use to get started.
✅ Click the icons in the top-right corner to access Messenger, your profile settings, and the Gear icon, which controls individual settings for each Microsoft service.
Setting up your profile
Once you've set up your Microsoft account and become familiar with the toolbar, you might want to customize and add information to your personal profile.
As you learned in Lesson 1, your profile is a personal information page linked to your Microsoft account. Your profile can contain:
✅ Basic information, like your birth date and gender
✅ Additional contact information
✅ Personal information about your work, social life, and education
✅ Connections to social networking sites like Facebook
Filling in your profile is completely optional, and it's advisable not to add too much detailed personal information. However, filling in a little information can be useful in some situations. It's all about deciding how much you want to share.
