Answer 1

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

You cannot add Apple devices to your Microsoft account.

You can only add Microsoft devices, such as Windows PCs, Surface laptops, Xbox consoles and controllers, and Microsoft accessories like keyboards or mice.

As the AI suggested, please install the Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc...) individually from the Apple App Store and sign in with the account associated with your Microsoft 365 (Office 365) subscription.

Answer 2

An iPad Pro can use Microsoft 365 apps, but it is not added as a “device” in the Microsoft 365 portal the same way as a PC or Mac, and its serial number will not appear in the devices list.

To use Microsoft 365 on an iPad Pro:

1. Install the Office/Microsoft 365 apps from the iOS App Store (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, or the single Office/Microsoft 365 app, depending on region).
2. Sign in to each app with the Microsoft account that has the Microsoft 365 subscription.
3. Because iPad Pro screens are larger than 10.1 inches, a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription is required to create and edit documents in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on that device.

There is no need to register the iPad Pro by serial number in Microsoft 365 for the apps to work; access is controlled by signing in with an account that has the appropriate subscription.
