I am thinking of purchasing a new Apple computer to replace my Dell. I currently have a singular account for Microsoft 365 that expires in October 2026. Can I transfer my current account to the new computer? Thank you in advance for any information.

Yes, you can transfer your Microsoft 365 account to a new Apple computer. Your Microsoft 365 subscription is tied to your Microsoft account, not to a specific device. To use Microsoft 365 on your new Apple computer, you will need to install the Microsoft 365 apps on that device and sign in with your existing Microsoft account credentials. Once signed in, you will have access to your subscription and any associated files.

Make sure to deactivate or uninstall the Microsoft 365 apps from your old Dell computer if you no longer plan to use them there, as there may be a limit on the number of devices that can use the same subscription simultaneously.

Hello Marcia K, thanks for posting this in our community.

Yes, absolutely. Your Microsoft 365 subscription is linked to your account (email), not to a specific device. To use it on your new Apple computer, simply sign in on the new device. Go to the Microsoft 365 download page and sign in using the same Microsoft account associated with your subscription. From there, download and install the Office apps for Mac such as Word, Excel, and Outlook. After installation, open any Office app and sign in with your Microsoft account to activate your subscription.

Kind regards,

John Oli
