Windows 10: Is this really a microsoft account

Can this be correct? I thought I used this as a local account sign in.

What is this Microsoft account number that is being ask? Where do I get it? Thank you. It appears when I try to reset the password. It is under the special domain.

Hi Julio,

If you are referring to a verification code that is being sent to your email, it is a confirmation if your request was really sent by you or the owner of the
Microsoft account.

For security purposes, we are sending a security code like this to your alternate email address or phone number before you can proceed to make changes to your log –in credentials. Once you receive a request from us, you need to respond back so we will be
able to provide our services.

Security info & security codes for more information about our Microsoft account verification process.

Let us know if you need more help.

Hello meebers, *Smile

You can use the an option in the tutorial below to verify if the account is a local or Microsoft account if that's what you're hunting for.

I wrongly assumed that only .outlook and .msn. accounts could be Microsoft accounts. After going thru the link you provided, my .gmail account can and is one after I verified it. Tx Brink.

 

Great news. I'm glad you got it sorted. *Smile
