  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with this problem.

  As described in the question, you want to know why you need a Microsoft Account to use Skype and other applications. You want to close your Microsoft Account.

  I wish to inform you that you need a Microsoft Account to make purchases from the store Windows. Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you can also use to connect to services such as Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE and Outlook.com.

  You can connect to Skype using Skype or Microsoft Account account. It is not mandatory to have a Microsoft Account to access Skype. Download the desktop version of Skype App and use the Skye account to access.

  You can connect to Windows 8 by using the Local account Microsoft account. If you connect to Windows 8 using local accounts you cannot access some of the features of Windows 8.

  Apart from this, there are a lot of Apps through which you can be in contact with other people. You need Microsoft Account to access the apps like Messenger, calendar, people App or Windows store.

  When installing Windows 8 Pro back, I'm not able to create a Microsoft account because it says already exist and when I try to connect using it does not exist or not available, I used a local account and it works very well and also a new account from Microsoft and it works fine.

  The problem is that I am not able to use my official address as a Microsoft Account

  An account will be considered as inactive if you don't sign not for 270 days or within the first 10 days after registering. The account will be deleted if it has been inactive for 365 days. When the account is deleted, the user name is immediately available for registration.

  Try this status Checker-

  When you went through the previously mentioned account recovery process link, do you have provided an alternate email address and you will be notified that you would like to be contacted?

  Try to re-create the account as a new account, if it is still available.

• Error on the Surface RT when creating a Microsoft account

  When you create a Microsoft on Surface RT account, I get this message

  "someone tried to register for a Microsoft account on this pc too many times in a day - please try again tomorrow."

  Hi Anthony,.

  Creation of 3 Microsoft Accounts on one device, it is what is allowed for 24 hours. You should try after 24 hours. Someone would have created 3 accounts before you tried to create one, so you have been presented with this error message.

  Good day!

• How do you keep your Microsoft Account e-mail address is more displayed on the login screen of Windows 8?

  I do not have my e-mail address Microsoft Account displayed on the login screen of Windows 8, when I have my local account linked to my account from Microsoft. If I give a presentation I don't want viewers to see my e-mail address, and also for security reasons I would like to remove. Is it possible to do this? Thank you!

  You can't, it belongs to start cold initial process.

• Need to create separate Microsoft accounts for each user on Skype?

  We have a laptop family with a single connection from Windows, and we Skype to instsalled office. My husband and I have our own Skype accounts, and we've been able to connect to these separate accounts (not at the same time, but that's fine). Today, I opened Skype, and the interface was changed. I got my husband to open my session, but he said that I need to create a second account from Microsoft to connect under another user of Skype. I don't want a new account from Microsoft. I have enough accounts of various kinds, and I want a unique Windows connection for this laptop. I want different users of a Windows account to connect to Skype with Skype accounts that we already have in place. How to do this?

  I think I found my problem. I reinstalled Skype and realized that what I was watching was a Skype app, I had not seen before and not the Skype for the desktop application. I am connected to Skype for Windows under my own account.

  Sorry for jumping the gun and thank you to all of you who have been thinking about this issue.

• Unable to swith to or create a Microsoft Account (0xd0000072)

  Hello

  I tried to switch my account from Windows 8 to my Microsoft Account * address email is removed from the privacy *. Unfortunately, the last step of the wizard fails with the 0xd0000072 error code.

  By reading the forums, I tried the suggestions described in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-security/why-cant-i-use-my-microsoft-account-to-sign-in-to/aa9a8944-3ffd-4ab4-8c68-7bd6599e1ab1 and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-security/cant-switch-local-account-to-microsoft-account/742e6d1d-28f3-4712-a9cb-05e815b0a7ca . Without any chance however.

  In addition, create a new local account as a Microsoft Account fails with the message that the account could not be created and that I go to live.com/password/reset.

  How can this problem be solved?

  Thanks in advance and greetings.

  I have exactly the same problem.

  I was able to connect on a computer laptop windows 8 before with this account, but since I was renaming the account that I had no chance.
  I tried to delete the account completely (to eliminate the original PC files), add, removed trusted PC, reset the password and run the application of the resolution of the problems (not found error) with no luck.
  I think it's something wrong on the part of Microsoft, I found many people with the same problem and nobody seems to have discovered a workaround solution.
  Update * I could succeed in removing all traces of my previous Microsoft opening accounts to log on to the laptop of the old Identities registry cleaning (do a search for @hotmail.com or @outlook.com according to your address of course and remove all entries).
  For people having problems on the new laptop, I would suggest remove account.live.com associated PCs.

• How can I remove the microsoft account and use the address as one alias on another?

  So I have two microsoft accounts using gmail addresses, the first is the one who has all my data (throughout the onedrive, Skype, xbox, windows, etc.) and the second has nothing. I want to do is delete the second so that I can use the address as primary on the first alias (as is my most used gmail account). Is this possible?

  account 1: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  account 2: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Hi Dan,.

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  From the description, it seems that you want to remove one of the two Microsoft accounts.

  Once you remove the secondary account from Microsoft, you can use the primary address, but you can go as an alias. 

  To remove a Microsoft account, you can see the Microsoft article and check if that helps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/remove-account

  Note: Before deleting an account Microsoft make a backup of data.

  You can also consult the Microsoft account and check if it helps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Live/account-close-account

  To remove the Gmail account, you can green light, making the Gmail Web site.

  Just reply to the State of the question.

  Thank you.

• Can I create a homegroup between devices using Windows 7 and Windows 8?

  Hello. Upstairs, I have a pc with Windows 7 home premium. My printer is connected to it. Downstairs, I have a new laptop with Windows home premium 8.

  The PC is connected to internet wireless. So the laptop, except that it's pretty close to the top for one Ethernet cable to use.

  I would like to have access to the printer from my laptop and to be able to share files.

  A solution via a homegroup, but Microsoft Help says that both devices must be running Windows 7.

  Is this correct?

  If so, is there another way I can access the printer from the laptop?
