How to Install Microsoft Office Application: An Expert Guide

Step 1: To install a new standalone Microsoft Application, such as Word or Project, first make sure you don’t have any old copies installed on your computer. If you do, remove these first as they may otherwise affect the installation for your new version.

  • Click on the Windows Start button and select Control Panel.
  • Select Programs and Features and then look for the Office product you’re trying to install in the list of programs under Uninstall or change a program.
  • If you see an old copy in the list, then click Uninstall and follow the instructions. Alternatively, see our guide about how to uninstall Office software.

Step 2: Open your web browser and go to: https://setup.office.com/downloadoffice/ and login with your Microsoft Account

Step 3: You’ll see a page asking you to enter the Product Key for the application you want to install. Enter your product key, country or region, and language., then click Next.

  • Note: make sure you use the same product key you were given with your purchase. Product keys can only usually be used with one copy of a software program on one computer. If you don’t have a valid key, you’ll first need to get one by purchasing the Office app you want to install

    Step 4: Follow the download and installation instructions then click Run when you see the prompt to open the installer

Note: you may be asked to close some programs if you have any Office apps active while trying to run the installation

Step 5: You’ll get another notification once the installation is complete, and then you’re all good to go! Just close the installer and open up your new Office application. For help on how to find your Office applications, see our guide here
