Sign in hassles!

When i started my new computer and loaded windows it insisted i put an email address in. I tried all my email addresses and none would work maybe cause it was an outlook site so i wrote my wifes email....*** Email address is removed for privacy ***. (i know this is not outlook).  It let me through to use my computer but suggested at some point i need to verify the email address. When i go to the verification email and click, it takes me to the outlook sign in page. It wont allow me to sign in with this email address. I am now stuck as it wont let me change it either. In the meantime i have signed up for an outlook email acccount. This obviously still doesn't help me verify my computer. Any ideas?
