    I think you meant Microsoft 365, not Windows 365?

    Just do this on the new computer.

    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.

    To transfer your Windows 365 subscription to your new laptop, you will need to sign in to your Microsoft account on the new device. Here are the general steps you can follow:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft Account: On your new laptop, open a web browser and go to the Microsoft account sign-in page. Use the same credentials that you used on your old laptop.
    2. Install Microsoft 365: After signing in, you can download and install Microsoft 365 on your new laptop. You can find the installation option in your account settings under the services and subscriptions section.
    3. Deactivate Old Device (if necessary): If you need to free up a license, you may want to deactivate the Office installation on your old laptop. This can typically be done through your Microsoft account under the subscriptions section.
    4. Transfer Files: If you have any files or settings that you want to transfer, you may need to do this manually or use an external drive, as the subscription transfer does not automatically move your files.

    For detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Microsoft support page on downloading and installing Microsoft 365.
