You have to choose an email provider and have them set up the account first.
Many people choose their internet providers as their email providers also,
since most internet accounts include one or more email accounts.

The details of how you then set up your computer to connect to that
account depend on which email provider you choose. Either ask them for
instructions, or tell us which email provider you want to use and see if
anyone here knows where to find their instructions.

Unless you work for Microsoft, you aren't likely to get a usable email
address that ends in @microsoft.com. If you do, ask for help at work.
