HOW TO CREATE A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT

HOW TO CREATE A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT

Before we start I will like us to know more about Microsoft account and what you can use it for many people find it so difficult to create a Microsoft account without knowing that it is easy.

A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to sign in to Windows. You can use any email address, but its best if you choose the one you already use to communicate with friends and sign in to your favorite websites. When you sign in to your PC with a Microsoft account, you’ll connect your PC to the people, files, and devices you care about.

When you sign in with a Microsoft account, your PC is connected to cloud storage online and:

·         Your personal settings are synced to any Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 PCs you use, including your themes, language preferences, browser favorites, and most apps.

·         You can get apps in the Windows Store and use them on up to five Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 PCs. (Some apps require specific hardware or hardware settings.)

·         Your friends’ contact info and status automatically stay up to date from places like Outlook.com, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

·         You can get to and share your photos, documents, and other files from places like SkyDrive, Facebook, and Flickr.
