Setup – One Drive

Getting OneDrive Setup:

If your new to OneDrive this setup guide will get you from start to set up in a few minutes.

The first step in getting OneDrive is getting an account:

Note; If you already have a @outlook.com, @hotmail.com or @live.com*email address, or an Xbox Live or Skype account, you already have a Microsoft account, and you can use that info to sign in.

Let’s get started with getting you an account:

Step 1:

• We need to get you to onedrive.live.com.
• Click on Sign up for free TAB.

• Next step is to click on the Create a Microsoft account TAB.

• Next Step is to create your email address and password.
• Here you will click on Get new email address.

• You can create your email address using you first and last name.
• Or you can create a unique one.
• For this guide, I will create mine base on a move Title 🙂

• Next step is creating your password.
• Please make your password something that you will remember but at the same time secure.
• Please DO NOT USE A COMMONLY USED PASSWORD.

• To complete your account setup.
• Mircosoft needs you to confirm that your not a Robot.

Now we are ready to login into our newly created Mircosoft OneDrive account YES 🙂 

• After clicking Next you will be redirected to your newly created OneDrive account.
• From this point, we can use OneDrive without having to sync it to our computer.

We are now going to sync OneDrive to our computer 🙂

• In the main top tab’s you will see the Desktop TAB.
• When you select it you will get the option to set up now.

• Once you select Set up now you will get the next pop up as seen in the below image:
• You will now click on Open Microsoft OneDrive.

• Now we need to complete the process of linking the App to our computer.
• The following step shows what we need to do to complete this.
• Your email address will already be in place and all you need do is click on Sign in.

• The next pop up window will need the password for your account, hope you remember it 😉

• The next few images we only need to click Next, but I would recommend you read what is to offer.
