How to set up hotmail.co.uk account?

emmiemac

Hi there,

Trying to set up a second hotmail account, but cannot find a page which will let me set up a hotmail.co.uk address rather than a .com one. I want them both to be the same so I don't get confused.

If anyone is better at finding things on the net than me, I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Have tried both these links -

the first one only gives you the .com option on a link from it,

and the second doesn't seem to work at all, clicked on the option and nothing happens, just refreshes the page

I wonder if anyone could give me a link to the exact page where you type in the address you want?

Thanks

Those links did take you to the right place.

hotmail.co.uk clearly displayed.

Couldn't be easier!

I got stuck trying to do this a while ago..... You need to do it in Internet Explorer I think, and then it works......

Thanks everybody, got it sorted out

Set it up using internet explorer rather than firefox and this solved the problems I was having.

Related issue .... Firefox has an extension to enable you to switch between it and IE. I use it. Works great. It's here ....

Small download and installation. After this you will see a small Firefox icon in the lower right corner of the browser. Click that icon and the browser switches to IE. Click it again and it reverts to Firefox.

Useful if you are on a site that will only work in IE. One click and you're there.
