DON'T MAKE AN MICROSOFT EMAIL. I have been locked out of my account for 4 days. A MACHINE wants to you recover your account by using an old phone number....I DON'T HAVE THAT PHONE NUMBER ANYMORE. It is so annoying. And support literally has NO power in getting your account back. Its all up to an all mighty machine God. Once i get into my account I won't ever use Microsoft live EVER again. Thank God my really important information is through different provider of emails.
