My Microsoft was no longer supported. Microsoft 365 Personal. I was asked 3 times for permission to install. There was a bar showing "progress" but it disappeared. My download says OfficeSetup(1).exe but nothing is happening. I read and tried all the suggestions and requested help several times. I still have no answer about how to know if 365 is installing or if it is in progress. And, I don't need a guide to ask a question. I need an answer to my question!

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | Windows

    Normally, when the progress bar disappears, the installation is almost complete. Near the end, you may see a message that you can start using the Office apps.

    Do you see any error messages at some stage during the attempted install? Installing Office may be a slow process, especially under Windows. No messages (no errors and no other types of messages) may indicate that everything went smoothly.

    You can always try starting the individual apps from the Windows Start menu.

    P.S. The filename "OfficeSetup (1)" just means that you have downloaded the setup file twice, and Windows renamed the second download by appending the number 1.
