How to install VISIO for personal use?

Hi NABEEL,

Thank you for reaching out to this forum. I'm Utkarsh and as a fellow Microsoft user, I'm here and ready to help you today. I am a user like you, this is a user forum and not Microsoft directly.

Do not worry, I will help you sort this issue, rest assured that I will do my best to assist you.

Visio isn't included in the Office suite but is sold as a stand-alone application. If you don't have Visio you can buy or try it now.

If you have Visio Plan 2 or a non-subscription version such as Visio Professional or Visio Standard 2021, 2019, 2016, or 2013 you can install and use the desktop app.

Install Visio (Visio Plan 2 or Visio Professional)

The steps below describe how to install the desktop app included with Visio Plan 2, and non-subscription versions of Visio Professional or Visio Standard 2021, 2019, or 2016. If you have Visio Plan 1 see the steps under the tab Visio for the web.

Note: (Visio 2013, Visio 2010, and Visio 2007 are now out of support.)

Step 1: Associate Visio with your account

To install Visio a license needs to be associated with your Microsoft account or work or school account. Which account you use depends on which version of Visio you have.

Visio Professional (or Standard) Non-subscription version

If your product key is already linked to your Microsoft account, skip to Step 2.

1. Go to office.com/setup.
2. Sign in with an existing or new Microsoft Account and enter your product key.

Once Visio is associated with your Microsoft account, you no longer need the product key. It will always be linked to your account and you can re-download the app or manage your license from account.microsoft.com.

Step 2: Sign in to download Visio

Before you begin Make sure your PC meets the system requirements.

The account you sign in with depends on which version of Visio you have. Follow the steps for your version.

Visio Professional (or Standard) Non-subscription versions

1. Go to www.office.com and if you're not already signed in, select Sign in.
2. Sign in with the Microsoft account associated with your one-time purchase version of Visio.

Note: If you're already signed in to office.com with a work or school account, you'll need to sign out of that and then sign in again with your Microsoft account, or right-click your browser in the taskbar to start an in-private or incognito browser session.

3. From the Microsoft 365home page select Install Office.
4. In the account.microsoft.com portal, select Services and Subscriptions from the header.
5. Locate the version of Visio you want to install and select Install. If you have multiple Microsoft 365 products you may have to scroll through the list of products associated with this Microsoft account.

Visio should now begin downloading. Follow the prompts in Step 3: Install Visio to complete the installation.

Step 3: Install Visio

1. Depending on your browser, select Run (in Edge or Internet Explorer), Setup (in Chrome), or Save File (in Firefox).

If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? select Yes.

The installation begins.

2. Your installation is finished when you see the phrase, "You're all set! Visio is installed now" and an animation plays to show you where to find the Visio app on your computer.

Follow the instructions in the window to find Visio. For example, depending on your version of Windows, select Start and then scroll to find Visio from your list of apps.
