You just got a new Windows phone! Here's how to get started

Got a new Windows phone this holiday? We've got you covered on the set up and out of box process!

Whether you're coming from an older Windows phone, or are new to the platform. Windows 10 Mobile phones are easy and convenient to set up and enjoy, and takes only a few minutes once the device is powered on for the first time. It's the same, universal setup for all Windows phones, so no matter what device you've got, this tutorial will help you out.

Understanding your options

There are two ways of setting up and getting started with a new Windows phone.

• Set up as "new", which means starting everything — every setting — from scratch. This is for people who've never owned a Windows phone before and are starting afresh.
• Restore from a previous Windows phone backup. You can do that online with a Microsoft Account. This is for people who've had a previous Windows phone device and are upgrading to a new one.

How to begin setting up your new Windows phone

Regardless of whether you're setting up as new, or restoring from a backup, everything kicks off in the exact same way.

1. Select your language and tap next.
2. Choose your home country or region from the drop down menu and tap next.

3. You'll be prompted to read and agree to the terms and conditions. To continue, tap accept.
