How to Log Into the Microsoft Store
Method 1 of 2:
Using the Microsoft Store App
- Open the Microsoft Store
- You'll only have the Microsoft Store desktop application if you're using Windows 10 or the Enterprise version of Windows 8.
- You should also be automatically logged in since you entered your Microsoft password when you started your computer. However, if you're using a guest account or aren't logged into the correct profile, continue with this method.
- Click the profile icon at the top-right corner. 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.
- Click Sign in or the profile name. 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.
- Select an account and click Continue. 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.
- Enter the account information. 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.
Method 2 of 2:
Using a Browser
- 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.
- Click the profile icon in the top right corner of the page. This looks like an outline of a person inside a circle. You'll be redirected to a login page.
- Enter your email, phone, or Skype to sign in with Microsoft. 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.
- Enter your account password and click Sign In. 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]
