Office for Arm64 on Windows 11?

Question

I have tried to follow the instructions on this blog https://insider.office.com/en-us/blog/64-bit-office-for-windows-on-arm  to install the 64-Bit Office for Windows on Arm on my Surface Pro X. I do not get the Office for ARM only the 32-Bit Office versions.

Can the Office team please clarify? How do you get/install the Office 64 versions for ARM?

I tried both the installer and downloading the img and running the 64-bit install.

Hi,

I can't seem to get 2021 pro to work in parallels on the new MacBook pro m1 max.

The error I see when trying to load the regular iso is "sorry, there was a problem mounting the file". I suspect this may have something to do with intel vs arm architecture, but can't be sure? As above, there doesn't seem to be any clear arm iso to download anywhere?

Any ideas on how to load office onto parallels so I can use my product key to activate and use the software as it was intended to be used (excel, native windows).

Any help would be much appreciated

They fixed it since then, but no, you have to be running Windows 11 and you download the 64-bit office. It should install and run now. After installing enroll in the Office Insider program from any Office application and update it to get the arm64 binaries.

I am on windows 11 and office insider. I will try it as you suggested.

Many thanks,

I have the same problem. Cannot find a link to download the arm64 version of office and the website only offers x34 & x64 versions. Where did you find the link to download the arm64 img file please ? Was there an answer to this question yet ... since 30th June ?
