    To transfer your Office 365 program to a new computer, you need to follow these steps:

    1. Uninstall Office from the Old Computer: If you no longer plan to use Office on your old computer, uninstall it first. You can do this through the Control Panel or Settings on Windows.
    2. Sign In to Your Microsoft Account: On your new computer, go to the Office website and sign in with the Microsoft account that you used to purchase Office 365.
    3. Install Office: After signing in, you should see an option to install Office. Click on it and follow the prompts to download and install the Office applications on your new computer.
    4. Activate Office: Once installed, open any Office application (like Word or Excel) and sign in with your Microsoft account to activate your Office 365 subscription.

    Make sure your new computer meets the system requirements for Office 365 before installation.

    If you have a subscription version of Office, just install on your new PC, via https://account.microsoft.com/services . Subscriptions can always be installed on multiple devices.
