How to Download and Install Microsoft Office?

 

To download the entire Microsoft Office suite for your PC, go to office.com/setup and enter your login credentials and account information wherever needed. After signing in, select Install Microsoft Apps and select Office 365 Apps. The installation process will begin, after which you only need to follow the prompts on your screen and set it up.

Uninstall the Office Applications which are not needed

 

When you download Microsoft Office from office.com.setup, you do not get the option of choosing which applications to install and which not to. The entire package has to be downloaded in the first go.

Upgrade from 32-Bit to 64-Bit

 

It is absolutely normal and even more necessary to upgrade software as and when new versions come along. The newer versions are built with more tools to use, enhanced features, added security, and more. So if you have a 32-bit Microsoft Office version, then it’s time to upgrade to the 64-bit upgraded version.

Before upgrading, you will have to uninstall the 32-bit version first. You can do so by selecting the program from the Control Panel. 

How to Install the Microsoft Office 64-Bit Version?

 

Visit www.office.com/setup to install the 64-bit Microsoft Office version. Enter your account information and select Install Office 365 Apps to begin the installation process.
