New Laptop Windows 8.1 help
I just bought a new HP laptop with windows 8.1 and I messed up on signing up on Microsoft accounts and can't get into it and I tried to e-mail them but no luck, any ideas how to get a hold of them ?

Are you using a Microsoft account or local password to login to your WIN 8.1 user account?
The only MS account that I had before the new laptop was a hot mail account. I was setting up the new laptop and was setting up a MS account and did something wrong ( don't know what I did )
I just did what sch911 said to do and will get a answer with in 24 hours. Thank You, Jay
Your Hotmail account was all you needed. There is no requirement to create a new account.
I've used Win 8.x and Win 10 with an MS account or a local account. Either way works fine. I prefer using a local account but like I said, it works fine either way.
I'm not sure why some people make a big deal about having an MS account.
For my Android phone, I have a Google account. When you use an iPhone with iTunes you have an Apple account. Why is it an issue to have an MS account?
