I have a HP Pavilion desktop of course running Windows 8 Home
When I first logged on I decided to use my Hotmail account and the primary account as Outlook.com When I first called an agent for some help he said that it was now settled and I could not have a local account. That I did not want!! He said I had to call MS to have it switched off. I just did a complete recovery since it was new and this time signed in with a local account. I have not liked Outlook.com ever since I tried it on my XP machine. So I deleted the MAIL app. Now, after a few weeks I'm changing my mind about using Outlook.com as an added account but not the primary account. But I can't find the app. When I go to the app store and click to get them nothing happens. When I do click on the People and Calendar metro tiles, which are still there, it simple goes back to the Metro Start page???
I DO NOT WANT OUTLOOK.COM to be the primary logon account. I want me as a user admin as a local account but I understand once this is done you can add Outlook.com but the pc is still a local account. However I can not seem to get them re installed When I go to the charms and select SETTINGS I do not see ACCOUNTS like a lot of Google links have suggested. Is there any help here? I'd appreciate it. jack
UPDATE: I did get to the store finally with IE browser and it reports YOU OWN THIS APP. But I cannot understand how to configure them. When I swipe the left side I see that MAIL, CALENDAR and PEOPLE are active. When I click on them it goes to the large screen showing the icon for the app and then just goes back to the Metro page??
