You can find step by step instructions for signing up for Microsoft Connect here

    1. Open Visual Studio 2013
    2. Click to Tools in the navigation bar and go to "Extensions and Updates"

Visual Studio 2014 is not currently supported.

Telnet

Telnet is required for certain steps later in the Getting Started guide. Now is a good time to install it if you do not have it installed.

  1. On your desktop machine, go to the Control Panel and open:
    (if in icon view) Programs and Features
    or
    (if in category view) Programs -> Programs and Features.
  2. In the left hand column, select “Turn Windows Features on or off”
  3. In the list, “Telnet Client” needs to be checked.
  4. Click "Ok"
  5. Restart your PC
