Set up your phone
Make the most out of your phone’s features from the get-go.
When you switch your phone on for the first time, your phone guides you to set up your network
connections, phone settings, and Microsoft account in one sitting.
You need a Microsoft account to back up and restore your phone, to buy, install, and update apps,
and to access some Microsoft services, such as:
• Xbox
• OneDrive
• Hotmail
• Outlook
You can use the same username and password on your computer and phone.
1. Switch your phone on, and follow the instructions shown on your phone.
2. When asked, create your Microsoft account if you don’t have one already, or sign in with your
existing username and password.
Tip: You can also create a Microsoft account later. On the start screen, swipe down from the
top of the screen, and tap ALL SETTINGS > email+accounts > add an account > Microsoft
account.
You can also create or manage your account at www.live.com.
