A Microsoft account gives you access to Microsoft products and services with just one login. 

Notes: 

  • You can either use an email address you own as a Microsoft account, or create a new address by choosing "Get a new email address" or "Use your email instead" when you sign up.

  • Microsoft email addresses are not reused, so even if an account was closed a long time ago, you cannot create a new account using the old email address.

  • If you're creating an account for a child, a parent or guardian will also need to sign in to finish setting up the account. Learn more
