If you want to make a Microsoft email account, you'll have to sign up for something called a Windows Live ID. A Windows Live ID is your sign-in for all Microsoft online sites and services, and comes with an email account through Microsoft's own Hotmail.

You can sign up for one of these accounts for free at any time of the day or night through your own Web browser.

Open your Web browser.

Visit the Windows Live ID site (see the Link at Bottom )

Click "Sign up for an account."

Select the "No" option and then click "Continue."
This will make sure that you get a Microsoft email account alongside your Windows Live ID.

Fill out the form in your browser.
You need to provide a screen name for your email address and also provide as much personal information about yourself as you feel comfortable.

Once you've filled out the boxes, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click "I Accept." This will create your Microsoft email account which you will be automatically logged into.
