How To Access Xbox Live Games In Windows 8

Windows 8 is the latest operating system launched by Microsoft. Though criticized for its drastic graphical user-interface changes, Microsoft claims that there is lot more to explore in Windows 8 than what users imagined earlier. Experts say that apart from the trendy looks, easy navigation to applications, and improved search features, Windows 8 offers the best gaming experience for the modern high-end games.

The newest operating system has an inbuilt Xbox app to help users easily subscribe and play millions of games. However, Windows Live technical support team advises that it is better to set up your existing Xbox Live account with Windows 8 before embarking on the gaming adventure. The below given set of instructions will guide you how to configure your Windows Live account with Windows 8.

Steps to follow

• Tap or click on the Games tile on the Start Screen of your Windows 8 computer. If you are on the Desktop mode, hit on the Windows key and roll back to the Live tiles screen. 
• When directed to the Xbox games screen, check whether you are already logged in to your Windows Live account. If you are not logged in, click or tap on the Join XBOX LIVE button, and use any of your Hotmail, Skype, or Windows Live account to sign in. 
• If you do not have an account with any of the Microsoft products, click or tap on the Sign up now option against Don’t have a Microsoft account link at the bottom of the screen. Fill all the required fields in the resulting page and create a new Microsoft user ID. 
• If you already have a Microsoft account, but have never accessed Xbox Live account before, you will be directed to the My Account screen, where you can see your email address and date of birth listed. Check all the details on the page carefully, and click on the I Accept button to continue. 
• Microsoft will assign you a Gamertag, which will help you to access your Xbox Live account in future. You can then either review or upgrade your membership, or start browsing and playing your favorite games. 

Make sure that you keep the assigned Gamertag secure, as it helps you to enjoy seamless access to Xbox games across all of your Windows devices. If you need further help with the above guidelines, contact Windows Live technical support team for assistance.
