Answer 2

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

May I please know which edition of Microsoft Office you are trying to transfer? For example, Office Home 2024, Office Home & Business 2024, etc.

To transfer the Office license from one device to another:

1. First, uninstall the Office applications on your old device.

You can use the Office Uninstaller troubleshooter here, or uninstall it from Control Panel: https://aka.ms/SaRA-officeUninstallFromPC

2. On your new PC:

Once the Office applications have been completely removed from the old device, go to the Services & Subscriptions page for your Microsoft account on your new device: https://account.microsoft.com/services

After signing in, locate your Office product on the page and click Install.

This will download the Office setup files to your device. Run the Office setup file to complete the installation on your new PC, and sign in with your Microsoft account when prompted.
