People: Add contacts

The People app is your universal address book. See contacts from all of your address books in one

place, and get the latest updates from your friends. Also, sync contacts from the social networks you

care about, like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Get in touch with someone by sending email, calling,

or posting to social media directly from the People app.

Here's how to add contacts from your accounts:

1. Tap or click People from the Start screen.

2. Open the Settings charm, tap or click Accounts > Add an account.

3. Choose the type of account you want to add and then follow the instructions.

For more info, see People in this guide.

Skype: Add contacts

With Skype calls and chat, you can stay in touch with anyone, on almost any device, for free. Once

you’ve added your friends, you can make Skype calls and send instant messages. Here's how to get

started using Skype:

1. On the Start screen, tap or click Skype.

2. Sign in with your Microsoft account and your Messenger friends will be automatically added to your

existing list of contacts. If you already have a Skype account, you can merge it with your Microsoft

account by following the on-screen instructions.

3. Add your contacts. To find out how, see Skype on Surface on Surface.com.

OneDrive: Your personal cloud

OneDrive is online storage that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s

available from any of the devices you use. When you save your documents, photos, and other files on

OneDrive, they're available from any web-connected device (for example, your phone or any

computer). OneDrive is also a great way to share files with other people.

To learn more, see OneDrive in this guide.

Make it yours

You can make Surface reflect who you are and what you care about. You can rearrange the Start screen however

you like, and choose the colors and pictures that reflect your personal style. For info about this, see the

Personalize Surface section in this guide.
