Hi everyone, I have a Gmail account and need to set it up as a Microsoft account. This can be done however the option to use an existing email is no longer there and your required to use a outlook / live account.
See this link to see how I was told you can do this.

Can you sign up to Microsoft account using Gmail or has this option been removed?
