How to register into Hotmail on a desktop?
While Hotmail email addresses are still used by many users, it is no longer possible to create new Hotmail accounts. However, a Microsoft Outlook account provides the same experience and email services that made Hotmail a popular choice. A Microsoft Outlook account can only be created on the Outlook website since this feature is not possible in the Outlook mobile app.
Open the Microsoft Outlook website. Go to https://www.outlook.com/ in your web browser.
Click on the Create Account option which is a link at the top-right side of the page.
Create your email address. Enter your preferred email name into the ‘New Mail’ text field in the center of the page.
Select your email address’ domain (@outlook.com or @hotmail.com) by clicking the down arrow on the right side of the ‘New Email’ field and then clicking the domain that you want to use in the drop-down menu.
Enter a password that you want to use into the Create Password text field below the ‘New email’ field. Make sure that your password is a combination of letters and numbers.
Uncheck the ‘Send me promotional emails from Microsoft’ option if you don’t want to receive product offers from Microsoft. Skip this step if you want to receive promotional emails.
Click on the blue ‘Next’ button below the ‘Create Password’ text box. Enter your first name into the First name text field and then type in your last name into the Last name text field.
Select the Next option which is a blue button below the text fields. Select the ‘Country/Region’ drop down box, and select your current location. Outlook usually automatically detects this and fills in this information for you.
In the birth date field, select the Month box and choose your birth month, and repeat this for the Day and Year boxes.
Select the Next button. A list of distorted letters and numbers will appear in a box in the center of the page. Type the content of the box into the ‘Enter the characters you see’ text field. If you want a new code, click on the “New” button. If you want the code read aloud to you, you can select the Audio button.
Select the Next button at the bottom of the window. This will create your account as long as the code you entered was correct.
