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 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.
