Hi
I have registered the “365 office home” to an email account (say Acc A) but my computer was broken and I want to give my office to my friend. So can my friend just unlink my registered account (Acc A) and relink the same office with another account (say acc B) ?

    Hi @Keith Chan

    Welcome to Q&A forum.

    First I would like to share a similar thread with the same request, but the answer this user got from Microsoft was "once the license is activated on a Microsoft account it is not possible anymore to transfer it to another microsoft account".
    For more details, you can refer to "New Office 2019 Home & Business transfer to another Micrsoft account. Just activated by mistake"

    If you need to confirm again, you can also contact the Microsoft supporters directly to verify this issue.
    Thanks for your understandings.
