What it is
Have you ever used Outlook.com, Hotmail, Office 365, , 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 account with your email address or phone number at account.microsoft.com.
Your Microsoft account gives you access to apps and games from Microsoft Store, and lets you see your settings and other stuff across multiple Windows 10 devices. Read more about the benefits of a Microsoft account.
Add a Microsoft account to your phone or tablet
On Start , swipe over to the All apps list, then select Settings > Accounts > Email & app accounts.
If you've already added a Microsoft account, you'll see that info here. If you haven't, select Add a Microsoft account.
If you have any questions, come by the Help Desk at Hardman & Jacobs Undergraduate Learning Center Room 105, call 646-1840, or email us at help@nmsu.edu.
