To install Microsoft 365 on a Windows 10 PC that is already running standalone versions of Word and Excel, follow these steps:

1.Check Current Office Version:

• Before installing Microsoft 365, it’s important to check the current version of Word and Excel on your PC. If they are older versions (like Office 2016 or Office 2019), they can coexist with Microsoft 365, but Microsoft recommends uninstalling older versions to avoid potential conflicts.

• Open Word or Excel, click on File > Account to check your version.

2. Uninstall Standalone Word/Excel (Optional):

•If you prefer to avoid potential software conflicts or just want a clean install of Microsoft 365, you can uninstall the existing standalone versions.

•Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features. Locate your standalone Office apps (Word, Excel), and uninstall them.

3. Purchase or Access Microsoft 365:

• If you haven’t already purchased Microsoft 365, go to the Microsoft 365 website to buy a subscription.

• If you already have a subscription, log in to your Microsoft account at office.com.

4. Install Microsoft 365:

• Go to office.com and sign in with your Microsoft account.

• Once logged in, click on Install Office from the main page.

• Choose Microsoft 365 apps, and the installer will download.

5. Run the Installer:

• After the download is complete, open the installer file (typically in the Downloads folder).

•Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

6.Activate Microsoft 365:

Once installation is complete, open any Office app (like Word or Excel).

•Sign in with the Microsoft account linked to your Microsoft 365 subscription to activate it.
