How do I sign into my Outlook email on a new laptop?

Got a new laptop and the Outlook app is asking me to add an account. My address ends in hotmail, not outlook. Do I use the same login or does it need setting up differently?

If Outlook isn't installed on the new laptop yet, Outlook on the web in any browser works the same for a personal account, nothing to set up.

Open Outlook, it'll ask for an email address on first launch. Type yours, then your password, then approve the sign-in on your phone if you've got two-step turned on. That's it for a personal account. If it's a work email and it fails, that's usually your company's IT setup, not you.
