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.

OneDrive: Your personal cloud
OneDrive is online storage that comes with your M icrosoft 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 smartphone or any PC).
OneDrive is also a great way to share files with other people.
