General Questions regarding exam

techpatrick82

So i found the list of MS exams, and i wen to register, however it came to the hotmail and asked me to log in with my hotmail account, i do not have a hotmail account. I have a specific Gmail account, i used for anything education / certification related. This allows me to keep everything together, in order to keep my records.

My question - do i need a hotmail to register
b/c when i go to - https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-7-certification.aspx, clicked reguired exam - it starts to register my name shows up and it shows my GMAIL

so whats all this stuff about a Hotmail account.

Thank for the help.

Microsoft Learning requires a Microsoft Live account, not a Hotmail account. You can use a Gmail address for Microsoft Live.
