- Log into your Microsoft Account online. Navigate to the official Microsoft Account website (account.microsoft.com) and sign in using the email address and password you use for Outlook.
- Locate and Click Your Profile Picture: Once you are logged in, find your current profile picture displayed on the page. This is usually located in a prominent position, such as the top-left or top-right corner. Click on your picture.
- Open the Picture Edit Dialog: Clicking the profile picture typically opens a dialog box or takes you to a page where you can view or change your profile image.
