As mentioned, there is already an area called Identity in the project. Inside this area, there is a Pages folder. Here, a new folder called Account needs to be created, to match the route of the Register page.
If this is done, place a new Razor page called Register.cshtml inside this folder and put the following content inside just to see whether the overriding of views is working:
@page
@{
