  1. The profile you're currently using, if any, should appear in a drop-down menu. If you're not logged in, you'll see an icon that looks like the outline of a person.

  2. A sign-in window will pop-up if you're not currently signed into an account. If you click on a profile that's already signed in, you'll get a window pop-up with that account info and a Sign out button.
    • If you're signed into an account you don't want to use, click Sign Out from this window.
  3. You'll be able to sign in with a different account other than the ones associated with the PC you're using by clicking Microsoft account under the header, "Use a different account."
    • Click Continue to proceed.
  4. If you picked an account that's associated with the computer, you only need to enter the password. If you choose to use a different Microsoft account, you'll need to enter the email, phone, or Skype information and then enter the password.
    • Once you enter that information successfully, you'll be redirected to the homepage of the Microsoft Store.

  1. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/. You can access this site from a Mac, but you won't be able to download and install anything unless you're using Windows.
    • You can also use a mobile web browser to log in to the Microsoft Store, but you will run into errors when you try to download anything.
  2. This looks like an outline of a person inside a circle. You'll be redirected to a login page.
  3. You can also click Create one to create a free Microsoft account if you don't have one.
    • If you forgot your login info, you can click Sign-in options to change how you can sign in or request your username. You can also sign in with Windows Hello or a security key if you click the second option in blue that says "Sign in with a security key", which requires previous set up.[1]
    • Click Next to continue.
  4. If you can't remember this, you can click Forgot password to reset it. Again, you can use Windows Hello or a security key if you have it set up.[2]
