Microsoft 10 account without phone number

Microsoft Account in Windows 10 represents a new concept of authorization in the operating system. Windows users are already familiar with the concept of an account. In other words, it's your personal profile that allows users quick access to Windows and the ability to use various Microsoft services.

To verify the user and enhance security, a phone number is linked to the Microsoft account. A special code is sent to this number for completing the authorization.

Here's how it works: You enter your login and password, then a message with a code arrives on your phone, and you need to enter it in a special field on the screen.

 

Services available with a Microsoft account

One account provides access to various services:

1. Outlook Mail (regular email address).

2. OneDrive cloud storage (stores your personal files - photos, music, documents). New Microsoft account owners get 5 GB on OneDrive for free.

3. Skype (for video communication).

4. Xbox services (games).

5. Bing Search (Microsoft's search service, although Google and Yandex remain leaders).

6. Microsoft Store (where you can purchase various computer applications).

7. Linking the account with Office allows installing and reinstalling Office without a product key, disc, or flash drive.

8. Windows OS. The same profile can be used for different versions of Windows.

A profile combines accounts for authorization on Microsoft services under one name. Any existing email address can be used as an email mailbox.
