Installing Office for the first time

Some Office 2016 and 2013 products come with a product key. If yours did, before installing Office for the first time, sign in with an existing or new Microsoft account and enter your product key at office.com/setup. Redeeming your key is what links your account with Office so you only have to do this once. Already did this? Select the tab below for the version you're trying to install.

Reinstalling Office

If Office originally came pre-installed and you need to reinstall on it on the same device or a new device, you should already have a Microsoft account associated with your copy of Office. This is the account you'll use to install Office following the steps below. If you need to uninstall Office first, see Uninstall Office from a PC or Uninstall Office for Mac.

Note: The steps to install the 2016 or 2013 versions of Office Professional Plus, Office Standard, or a stand-alone app such as Word or Project might be different if you got Office through one of the following:

Microsoft HUP: If you bought Office for personal use through your company, see Install Office through HUP.
Volume license versions: IT departments might use a different method to install Office for their organization. Talk to your IT department for install help.
Third-party seller: You bought Office from a third-party and you're having problems with the product key.

Install Office 2016 on a PC

Remember a one-time purchase version of Office is licensed for one install only.

Note: If you're running Windows 10 S, you may be taken to the Microsoft Store app. If that happens, follow the installation steps in Install or reinstall Office from the Microsoft Store instead.

1. Depending on your browser, select Run (in Edge or Internet Explorer), Setup (in Chrome), or Save File (in Firefox).
   If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? select Yes.
   The install begins.
   
2. Your install is finished when you see the phrase, "You're all set! Office is installed now" and an animation plays to show you where to find Office applications on your computer. Select Close.
   Follow the instructions in the window to find your Office apps. For example depending on your version of Windows, select Start and then scroll to find the app you want to open such as Excel or Word, or type the name of the app in the search box.
   

Installation or sign in issues?

If you're unable to install Office see Troubleshoot installing Office for more help.

Activate Office

1. Start using an Office application right away by opening any app such as Word or Excel. Can't find Office after installing?
   In most cases, Office is activated once you start an application and after you agree to the License terms by selecting Accept.
   
2. Office might activate automatically. However, depending on your product you might see the Microsoft Office Activation Wizard. If so, follow the prompts to activate Office.
