I have a new desktop and I'm trying to install my MS 365 Office apps onto it. It came with a 30 day trial, but I already have an MS 365 active subscription.

    I would suggest that you uninstall the preinstalled trial version of Office before you install your own version.

    Hi Kevin,

    Just sign in with Your Microsoft Account. Visit https://www.office.com on your new desktop. Click Sign in and use the Microsoft account linked to your active Office 365 Personal subscription. After signing in, click Install Office. Choose Office 365 apps and download the installer. Run the installer and follow the prompts. Once installed go to any application like word, and sign in again your Microsoft account it should automatically detect your subscription and activate.
