    Which operating system do you have?

    Which version of Office are you trying to install? A one-time payment version such as Office Home & Business 2024? Or a subscription such as Microsoft 365 Personal? Generally, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/download-install-or-reinstall-microsoft-365-or-office-2024-on-a-pc-or-mac .

    Try this in order:

    1. If Office is already installed but will not open, update it:
      • Open any Office app such as Word.
      • Go to File > Account.
      • Under Product Information, select Update Options > Update Now.
      • If Update Now is not shown, select Enable Updates first.
    2. If Office still does not work, repair or reinstall it:
      • If the apps show a stopped working error, try repairing Office first.
      • If that does not help, use the Microsoft uninstall troubleshooter to remove Microsoft 365, Office 2021, Office 2019, or Office 2016 from the same Windows PC, then restart the computer and reinstall Office.
      • Important: the uninstall troubleshooter does not uninstall Office 2024, and it requires Windows 10 or higher.
    3. If the problem is downloading or reinstalling Office:
      • Use the install steps for Microsoft 365 or Office 2024.
      • If the account is not linked yet, Office must be associated with a Microsoft account or work or school account before installation.
      • For Office for home products, go to https://setup.office.com, sign in or create a Microsoft account, and enter the product key if available. The account is linked when the My Office Account page appears with an install button.
    4. If Office apps crash when starting, check add-ins:
      • Older add-ins such as ABBYY FineReader and Dragon Naturally Speaking can cause Office startup problems.
      • Disable add-ins one by one and restart the app normally after each change.
    5. If more help is needed, contact Microsoft support.
