My computer was bought with the Office 2021 Pro Plus for Office 2021 , but it can't be updated due to the fact that it must be a Office 2021 with no volume license version, since it is not for commercial use. How do I do that? It was bought from DELL computers, with Windows 11 already installed, and further on Microsoft Office 365 was installed by me for my private account.

    To change from Office 2021 Pro Plus (which is a volume licensed version) to a non-volume licensed version of Office 2021, you will need to uninstall the current version and then install the correct version. Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Uninstall Office 2021 Pro Plus:
      • Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
      • Find Microsoft Office 2021 Pro Plus in the list, click on it, and select Uninstall.
    2. Install Office 2021 Non-Volume License:
      • You will need to obtain the non-volume licensed version of Office 2021. This can typically be done by purchasing a retail version or downloading it from a legitimate source that provides the non-volume license.
      • Follow the installation instructions provided with the non-volume version to install it on your computer.
    3. Activate Office 2021:
      • After installation, open any Office application (like Word or Excel) and follow the prompts to activate your Office using the product key provided with your purchase.

    Make sure to back up any important files before uninstalling Office, and ensure that you have the necessary product key for the non-volume version to activate it after installation.
