Hi Friends: HELP. What is Azure Microsoft?

I keep getting emails about this. I never signed up for anything and have not opened the emails. The message lines are strange. How do I get rid of this and why do I have it? Have received seven in the last few days with different subject line.
Google was no help for this. It indicated it was some kind of a business application. I cannot stop this. The address indicated no reply.
I am still running Windows 10, no $ for a new computer. I'm careful with what I do on-ine. Never even saw anything about this since it started to show up in my junk file.
Help please if you can.
Thanks

You could be getting spammed via Azure or for signing up for an Azure service. Your normal filters might not be working as well due to windows 10 being endof life/support thus past fall.

Depending on what you do you might be able to use a refurbished Chromebook for online activity until you spring for an updated pc.

3. Thanks for your reply. I am not computer savvy, is there a way I can get rid of this now?

I"m not a business and don't need this but cannot find a way to delete it. Is it just going to pester me or try and charge for this unneeded service. Will blocking help? It comes on my Hotmail account only., not my other account that I have for very personal stuff. I don't think I checked on anything and if I did, why is there no way to get rid of it?

Delete the emails. Perhaps report them as suspected phishing emails, first.
