Details
When you purchase a personal device for school use (regardless of whether it was purchased from a third-party or the JMU Bookstore), you will need to provide a personal Microsoft account for the initial setup for the machine. Please select Personal Account and sign in using a personal (non-JMU) email. Using your JMU Dukes email account will create issues once you leave the University for things such as continued access, repairs, or other needed processes.
If you do not currently have a Microsoft account, you can go to Account.Microsoft.Com and create one using a personal email,. Once you have signed into the device, you will be able to sign in to Microsoft services, such as OneDrive, Outlook, and Office365 using your student email.
