[Blindtlk] Windows live question

[Judy Jones]

The best thing to do is to check with your provider, or to call Microsoft's 
access line, assuming your computer is a PC, (800) 936-5900.

Subject: Re: [Blindtlk] Windows live question

I have a Windows live account that is linked to my iPhone. Unfortunately I 
have to reset it up on my computer. All I can find his outlook. Can anyone 
explain in simple terms what I need to do? I thought these were compatible 
and I could just plug my old information in. Apparently that is it working I 
thought one was just an update of the other.

I'm a completely computer illiterate windows user with a 2011 Dell computer. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope my question make sense to 
people. Thank you ever so much.
