    I have been getting text messages to my phone that say:"Microsoft account single-use code: 4778935"I suspect this is a scam, but I want to know if this means that someone has hacked my Microsoft account and has my account id and password. Trying to get support on this issue from Microsoft is the most frustrating experience I have recently had. Do they not have anyone who will talk to a customer?

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    How do I get a 7 digit code to reinstall windows 10

    If you previously had Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC
    during the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key
    and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue, your PC will have a digital entitlement stored on the
    Microsoft Servers

    The 7 digit code is used to confirm your ID with your Microsoft account

    Please follow these steps:

    • Open the Settings App, go to Accounts
    • You should see the "Verify" link just above your picture
    • Check your Email to see if Microsoft have sent you a 7 digit code
    • Enter the 7 digit code when asked
