FIGURE 3-11 For most personal devices, using a Microsoft account provides significant benefits and is the best<br />

choice.<br />

If you sign up with the same Microsoft account you use on other devices, any settings you chose to<br />

sync from those devices will be replicated on the new device. You’ll also have access to the Windows<br />

Store and to any cloud services that are linked to that Microsoft account, including Outlook.com<br />

(formerly Hotmail) email, OneDrive, and Xbox services.<br />

You can create a new Microsoft account from this screen using any email address, including a<br />

personal address with a custom domain; you’re not limited to the Microsoft-owned Outlook.com,<br />

Live.com, and Hotmail.com domains.<br />

Although it’s not immediately obvious, the option to create a local account is also available from this<br />

page. Click or tap Skip This Step to open a local account using the form shown earlier in Figure 3-<strong>10</strong>.<br />
