Signing up for an free-trial Azure account is simple and allows you to get started exploring Azure in a couple of minutes. In the Azure for Research initiative, the Azure accounts you are given only work with a [Microsoft account](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/sign-in-what-is-microsoft-account). To ensure there are no issues with existing accounts, you are going to create a brand new Microsoft Account in order to access your Azure benefits.

Like any modern cloud-based service, Azure is growing all the time, with new features and services being added regularly. The entry point to Azure is through the Microsoft Azure Portal, of which there are two. The modern portal is the one you will use for most of the labs, but it is still under construction, so it is sometimes referred to as the [Preview Portal](https://portal.azure.com). The original portal, called the [Classic Portal](https://www.manage.windowsazure.com), still has a few features that have not been ported over to the Preview Portal. Each of the hands-on labs contains explicit instructions showing which portal (and which features) to use. In this lab, you will set up a free Azure account and learn how to switch between portals.
