Create a Hotmail account

The Hotmail Windows Live is a free e-mail service, quickly and safely. It has rarely presented flaws and has interesting features, such as an antispam system and a good antivirus. It also integrates an anti-phishing feature to prevent fraud. In addition, your Windows Live ID can be used to access Skype, Xbox Live, or any online service offered by a Microsoft account . 

This tip will show you how to create a Hotmail account (Outlook.com) . 

End of Hotmail

Since February 2013, access to Hotmail accounts is done through Outlook.com . This means that your Hotmail account is now an Outlook.com account. However, you can create accounts with the address @ hotmail.com . All Microsoft accounts, including Hotmail, can be accessed here . 

Create a Hotmail Email Account (Outlook.com)

To create an account in Hotmail (@ hotmail.com) or an Outlook account (@ outlook.com), simply log in to the Microsoft login page and click Do not have an account? Create one! : 


In the window that will open, click Get new email address : 


Then select hotmail.com (as in the image below) and enter the email you want to create and click Next . If the email you entered is not available, a red message will appear. Choose another until you can. 


Now, create your password and click Next : 


Microsoft will request personal information about you by simply following the instructions. It is not necessary to fill in all the fields of information if you prefer that your personal data remain confidential. However, if you forget your password or lose access to your account, this information can be useful to recover it. 

Choose the Hotmail password (Outlook.com)

When creating your password, choose a password that is easy enough for you to remember, but difficult enough for others to guess. A combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (! @ # $) Is recommended. For more information about how to create a secure password, follow the advice in this tip . 

Accessing your Hotmail account

When you are finished creating your Hotmail account, go to the Microsoft homepage and log in with your new username and password to see if everything works. 

How to update your old Hotmail account

Microsoft has definitely disabled Hotmail. Outlook.com now only exists . To update your account, go to www.outlook.com and follow the instructions from Microsoft, which are roughly the same as for account creation, except that you already have an email and a password.
