How to reinstall accidently deleted ms 365

Question

How do I reinstall accidently deleted MS 365 basic

Answer 1

Hello

Are you sure you have Microsoft 365 "Basic", because Basic doesn't come with the Office apps. It is just for 100GB of OneDrive storage. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/microsoft-365-basic/cfq7ttc0ktxs

Or do you need help installing OneDrive desktop app?

Answer 2

To reinstall Microsoft 365 after it was accidentally deleted, install it again from the account or apps portal associated with the subscription.

For a personal/home Microsoft 365 subscription (such as Microsoft 365 Basic, Personal, or Family):

1. Go to the Microsoft account dashboard: https://account.microsoft.com and select Sign in.
2. Sign in with the same Microsoft account that was used to set up or purchase Microsoft 365.
   • If the account is forgotten, see I forgot the account I use with Microsoft 365 from the linked article in the references.
3. Select the Subscriptions icon in the left pane.
4. On the Subscriptions page:
   • For a Microsoft 365 subscription (including Basic/Personal/Family), confirm it is listed and then select Install Microsoft 365 (usually in the upper-right of the page).
5. In the Install Microsoft 365 dialog:
   • Choose the preferred language.
   • Choose the bit version (32-bit or 64-bit) if prompted.
   • Select Install.
6. An installer file (for example, OfficeSetup.exe) will download.
7. Double‑click the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. The installation will start automatically.
8. When the You're all set message appears, select Close.
9. Ensure the device is connected to the internet, then open an app such as Word or Excel.
10. Accept the license terms and, if prompted, sign in with the same Microsoft account to activate the apps.

Alternative install path via the apps portal:

1. Go to https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps.
2. Sign in with the Microsoft account associated with the Microsoft 365 subscription.
3. From the Microsoft 365 Apps page, select Install apps and then Install.
4. Run the downloaded installer and complete setup; then open any Office app to finish activation.

If Microsoft 365 came pre‑installed on the PC (for personal use):

Use the same Microsoft account that was used when first activating Office on that PC and follow the “Use online installer” steps above from the Microsoft account dashboard to reinstall.
