Personalize your Surface

In this section you’ll learn how to personalize your Surface.

Add your accounts

One of the first things you’ll want to do with your new Surface is add your accounts—like Outlook.com, Gmail, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn—to your Microsoft account. Once you add your accounts, your contacts, calendar, and email will appear in the Mail, People, and Calendar apps. And you can quickly get to your photos and files from services like SkyDrive, Facebook, or Flickr. For more info about this, see the Add your accounts section in this guide.
