# Microsoft Account Dialog
An alternative way to add a Microsoft account to Windows.

This application provides the same functionality but in the form of a desktop app.

This maybe used as a stand in replacement for adding Microsoft accounts to Windows in case its not possible to add through Windows Settings.
