How to create an account in Windows 8

There is one nuance in the Windows 8 system - its developers have made every effort to ensure that the user stores data not on his own PC, but on the servers of this operating system. Therefore Windows 8 has two account options - local and network. The latter is convenient if you have several computers with a licensed version of Windows 8 installed on them or if you plan to actively use a set of pre-installed windows applications Live and cloud storage... In all other cases, you can give preference to the first option.

To play it safe in case you forget your password, the system will ask you answer secret Question and enter in the appropriate fields valid number phone number and alternate email address. If for some reason you cannot access the system, the program will send to phone number or an email code to unlock your account, after which you can log into your account and set a new password.

Good day!

The new Windows 10 has two types of accounts: local and Microsoft (the latter is highly recommended by developers). I think you have noticed this many times ...

In general, a reasonable question that many will ask: "Why is it needed at all, why is it better than a local account?" ... Below are the main advantages Microsoft account to clear up this fog:

  • the ability to work with their documents, address book, files, settings etc. from any computer (with Windows 10) connected to the Internet (mega-convenient!);
  • possibility of using many applications: Skype (program for talking over the network), (cloud drive), Office 365 (editor for text, tables, etc.), etc .;
  • ability to create baby accounts, and limit the working time and consumed content (more on this);
  • possibility of using app store (Microsoft Store);
  • access to email from any PC and mobile gadgets connected to the Internet;
  • after reinstalling the system on the computer - you can return everything to working order much faster (you just need to provide your account details);
  • if you change any parameters of your account, they will automatically change on all your PCs (and other devices) using this account (those. full synchronization on the Internet).

In general, it is very convenient ?! In my opinion, Microsoft is following the path of "personal ID / record / profile" that can be used both on home devices and at work. Probably, they will soon tie it to some bank card, and to work with your data, it will be enough to present it to any PC ...

And so, okay, enough of the lyrics, let's get down to business ...

How to create a Microsoft account

In the article I will assume that you do not have an account and have never had (i.e. you have not registered before in various services from Microsoft). Just some of the steps below, you might be able to skip (if, say, during registration, Microsoft informs you that the profile has already been created earlier and you can use it) ...

STEP 1

Microsoft official website:

First you need to go to the official Microsoft website and click on the "Sign in" link in the corner of the screen (it doesn't matter if you have an account or not).

Note: you can create an account from any computer! It is not necessary to sit at the one for which you want to use it later.

Login (screen of the official Microsoft website)

Then enter your email address (a confirmation code will be sent to it later) and click "Next".

Note! If you don't have a work email, I recommend creating one:

  • if your mail has already been used in some services from Microsoft - then, perhaps, the service will inform you that your account has already been created earlier, and you can use it;
  • if the mail has not been used anywhere, the service will offer to create a new account (as in my case in the screenshot below). We press the button.

STEP 3

Enter your password (it will be used to access your account), your date of birth, first and last name. I recommend entering reliable information, because after starting work (if suddenly there is a problem with the entrance) - you may have to confirm your data.

The three screenshots below are given as an example.

STEP 4

Next, you need to open your mail (which you used during registration), find a letter from Microsoft and enter the code from it into the registration form. By the way, the letter will come in Russian, in general, everything is clear in it, so I will not comment on it separately ...

An example is shown below.

STEP 5

Confirm that the registration is carried out by a person: it is enough to enter the letters and numbers presented in the small picture (captcha).

STEP 6

After creating an account, try to log in to the site. If you succeed in logging in (a blue circle "lights up" in the corner, as in the screenshot below), your account is ready for further use.

STEP 7

Now on the computer on which you want to work with this account, you need to open windows options and add it to the list of allowed.

You will need administrator rights.

To do this, press the combination of buttons Win + i, open the section "Accounts -\u003e Family and Other People " , press the button (see the screen below).

In the next step, specify the type of account: adult or child (note: restrictions may apply for a child).

After that, a message will be sent to the mail (e-mail) of the account (which we are adding) that "such and such" user can join the work (you just need to agree with the proposal).

Actually, after that, under this account, you can go to this PC and work. How to do it - I'll tell you in a couple of lines below.

STEP 8

To start working under a different account in Windows 10, first log out. In Windows 10, this can be done by pressing right click mouse on the START menu (see example below).

Alternative option: You can press the Win + L key combination.

STEP 9

Next, a welcome window will appear (which you always see when booting Windows). In the bottom left corner, multiple users will be presented (depending on how many accounts you add). In general, to work with one of them - just select it, and click the "Login" button (Please note that you will also need a password to log in!) .

If this is your first login under this account, you will have to wait a few minutes while the basic parameters are configured and configured.

In general, after that, you will see the most ordinary desktop (as in the photo below) - you can start working!

That's all for now.
