How to create a new hotmail account
Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new Hotmail account:
Note: Hotmail is now part of Outlook.com, so you'll be creating an Outlook.com account instead.
Requirements:
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
- You must have a valid email address to verify your account.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Go to Outlook.com: Open a web browser and navigate to www.outlook.com.
- Click on "Create account": In the top right corner of the page, click on the "Create account" button.
- Choose your account type: Select "Personal" as your account type.
- Enter your email address: Enter a new email address that you'd like to use for your Hotmail account. This will be your username.
- Enter your password: Enter a strong and unique password for your account. Make sure to choose a password that is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Enter your name: Enter your first and last name as you'd like them to appear on your account.
- Enter your birthday: Enter your birthdate to verify your age.
- Enter your country or region: Select your country or region from the drop-down menu.
- Enter your language: Select your preferred language from the drop-down menu.
- Verify your account: Outlook.com will send a verification email to the email address you entered. Open the email and click on the verification link to activate your account.
- Set up your account: Once your account is activated, you'll be prompted to set up your account. You can add a profile picture, set up your security questions, and add a recovery email address.
Tips:

- Use a valid email address to verify your account.
- Be careful when entering your personal information, as it will be stored on Outlook.com's servers.
