How to add my account to outlook

Question

I bought a new PC for substituting a old one using win10. I want to activate the mail using Outlook . My Office expires on 26 may.

Answer 1

To use Outlook with email on the new PC, first install and activate Microsoft 365 (if not already installed), then add the email account in Outlook.

1. Install Microsoft 365 on the new PC
   • Sign in on the new PC with the same Microsoft account that owns the Microsoft 365 subscription.
   • Download and install Microsoft 365/Office from the Microsoft account services page (as indicated in the Microsoft Q&A references).
   • Open any Office app (for example, Word) and sign in with the subscription account so that Office is activated. The subscription is valid until 26 May, so activation should succeed as long as that date has not passed.
2. Add the email account in Outlook for Windows (classic Outlook)
   • Open Outlook on the new PC.
   • Select File > Add Account.
   • Type the email address to use in Outlook, then select Connect.
   • If prompted, enter the account password and select OK.
   • Select Finish.
   These steps work whether this is the first account or an additional account in classic Outlook for Windows.
3. If using the new Outlook for Windows
   • On the View tab, select View settings, or from the File tab, select Account info.
   • Select Accounts > Your accounts.
   • Under Email accounts, select Add Account.
   • Enter the email address and select Continue.
   • When prompted, enter the password and select Done.
4. If the account is Outlook.com or Microsoft 365
   • Open Outlook.
   • Type the Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 email address, then select Connect.
   • Enter the password and select OK.
   • To add more accounts later, use File > Add Account and repeat the steps.

If the email provider requires extra security (for example, Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, or Outlook.com with two-factor authentication), it may be necessary to create an app password on the provider’s site and use that password when Outlook asks for the account password.
