How to Create a FREE @outlook.com Email Address

Recently Microsoft launched the new online cloud based solution for email services named Outlook.com – Well, it is the successor of Hotmail.com with a new look and feel and integration with cloud services and Skype for video calling.

If you want to secure your @outlook.com account, then here we show you how to create a new Outlook.com account for free.

First, you need to open www.outlook.com and look for the Sign Up now link.

This will open a new form where you can fill your information and choose a username. Notice that if you already have an account in Hotmail, SkyDrive, Xbox Live or Windows Phone you can upgrade to this Outlook.com service from your existing account.

Make sure to enter a username that is available. You will need to enter the captcha code before the system tells you if the username is available or not. This may have a good reason to avoid spammers and robots.

Finally, if the username is available and you didn’t miss to enter any required field, you will get access to your new renewed Outlook.com account using @outlook.com domain name.

In order to create or open your account you need to visit www.outlook.com in your browser.
