I recently purchased Office 365 and successfully installed it on my tower computer. I now want to install it on my laptop. Can you help?

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    If your Office 365 subscription allows multiple devices, you can install it on your laptop using the same Microsoft account.

    If you haven't tried anything yet, please try this first:

    • Open a browser on your laptop. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services
    • Sign in using the same email you used on your tower PC.
    • Find Microsoft 365 subscription. Click Install and follow the steps.
    • After installing, sign in when asked.

    I really hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Regards,

    John J.D.

    I am just trying to add my boyfriends laptop where we reside together. I already renewed this app and paid in full. I cannot even find the app I have on my computer and phone on the playstore app. You say that Copilot is for cell phones only? Why do you make this so hard?????
