MS office 365

Hello,

On your Mac, you can use it directly.

Please go to https://www.office.com

Sign into the Microsoft account you used for the subscription. Click on Apps on the left.

Then on the upper right, click on "Install apps". This will now download the installer file. Once downloaded, click on the file to install. It will install the Desktop version of the apps for you then.

Nothing needs to be changed with the existing Microsoft 365 subscription when switching from PC to Mac.

Microsoft 365 Family and Microsoft 365 Personal already include the most current Office apps for both PC and Mac, so the same subscription can be used on the new Mac. After getting the Mac, simply install and activate the apps there:

1. Go to the Microsoft 365 portal and sign in with the same Microsoft account used for the subscription.
2. Download and install the Office apps for Mac.
3. Sign in to the apps with the same Microsoft account to activate them.

If the subscription is Microsoft 365 Basic, note that it does not include desktop apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so only the web and mobile versions would be available on the Mac.

If moving from an older perpetual Office version (such as Office 2016 or 2019) on the PC, that does not affect the Microsoft 365 subscription; just install the Microsoft 365 apps on the Mac as described above.
