MSN Hotmail is an email service powered by Microsoft. Getting an email address is free and can be done in a couple of minutes. It only requires that you sign up for a Windows Live ID. This ID will be used as your email address and identification for other MSN-related services.

Step 1

Go to Hotmail.com.

Step 2

Click the small, blue "Sign Up" button on the left side of the window.

Step 3

Enter a potential email address, which will be considered your Windows Live ID, and password. You can check to see if your email address/Windows Live ID name is still available by clicking the "Check Availability" button.

Step 4

Enter personal details such as your name, state, gender and birth year.

Step 5

Read and accept the "Microsoft Service Agreement" and "Privacy Statement." If you do not agree to these terms, you will not be able to get a Hotmail account.
