When you use a non-Microsoft email address to create a Microsoft account, you will be able to use that non-Microsoft ID to sign in to Microsoft services and products without actually creating a new email ID. That said, you won’t be able to directly use your Gmail or Yahoo! Mail as your Microsoft account, but you will be able to create a Microsoft account using your Gmail or Yahoo! Mail. One can use a Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, or any other email address to create a Microsoft account without actually signing up for service. While this true, if you never used a Microsoft service before this and have a valid Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, iCloud, or any other email address, you can use that non-Microsoft email address to create your Microsoft account. It’s fairly common for people to assume that a Microsoft account means nothing but a valid email address from MSN.com,, , or. Use Gmail, Yahoo! or AOL Mail to create Microsoft account

The other day, a user asked us if it’s possible to use a Gmail account as Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10 instead of creating a new email ID?
