What is a Microsoft ID (account)?

A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to sign in to
Windows. You can use any email address, but it is best if you choose the one you
already use to communicate with friends and sign in to your favorite websites. When
you sign in to your PC with a Microsoft account, you'll connect your PC to the people,
files, and devices you care about.
