Windows 10: Why does Microsoft website recognize my businesss email as a microsoft email, yet won't let...

I work with a business, and have a business email with Microsoft using our business as the useremail@businessdomain.com. I can log into the microsoft websiteobviously, as I'm writing this, but my computer wont recognize my business email as a Microsoft email, and thus won't let me link my computer to it for Cloud uses. Why is there a differentiation? It won't let me link it as a Family account, or another Microsoft account, and so I'm stuck using my phone number and using other sources to get the cloud information I need. It's very frustrating. Is this a weird quirk with Windows 11?

How to add a Microsoft email account to Outlook 2016

I saw an old post describing the steps to add an msn.com email account to Microsoft Outlook. It had to be done manually selecting the first option and using blu404.m.hotmail as the server. If I try to do the same, however, I get an error message saying that the server can't be reached.

How can I add a Microsoft email account (hotmail/outlook) to desktop Outlook? I can use this email account in Outlook Live, (it shows Outlook Mail in the upper left corner of my emails), but I can't add it to Outlook 2016 from Office Professional. I was able to add an @att.net email account, but I don't know what to do for a Microsoft account.

If I try to add it without any manual steps I get an error message saying (more or less): "an encrypted email did not work, try and unencrypted email", but that does not work either. Clearly, some manual configuration is needed: please guide me along the required steps. In case it matters, my password is 8 characters long.

 

Login and microsoft email

It asks for a microsoft account and i created one with a gmail that isnt mine (misspelled).

I created another microsoft account with another gmail, and it switched to that email, but then when i tried to log in into microsoft from the browser it told me they cannot acess this account and they suggested me to change the email, which i did. so the profile i have on my pc has the old email listed but i did change this email for that same micorsoft profile.

sorry i say user but its actually another microsoft acccount
