I have the latest version and I'm ready to install it

Before installing the latest version of Office read through the following recommendations first.

Upgrade recommendations

• Make sure your computer meets the system requirements for the newest version of Office.
• In most cases when you run the Microsoft Office Setup program on a computer with an earlier version of Office installed, the earlier version is removed. However, there are instances when an uninstall is necessary, such as if you run into errors or problems during installation. Wsus server not downloading updates.
  If you uninstall Office before installing the new version, your Office files won't be deleted, but if your version of Office includes Outlook you may want to back up your Outlook data files. See Find and transfer Outlook data files from one computer to another.
• We recommend only running one version of Office on a PC, but if you need to run Office side-by-side, see which versions are compatible in Install and use different versions of Office on the same PC.

Office 365 for home subscription

If you have an Office 365 Home or Office 365 Personal subscription, you already have the most current version of Office at no additional cost and should already receive the latest features to your Office apps. See What’s new in Office 365 to learn more about the newest features.

If you don’t see these features, you may not have received the latest updates. Depending on your operating system, check for Office updates for PC or Office updates for Mac.

To switch between subscriptions, such as switching from Office 365 Personal to Office 365 Home, see Switch to a different Office 365 subscription.

Office 365 for business subscription

If your Office 365 for business subscription is associated with your work or school email account (these versions of Office are usually licensed to you through your work or school), you have the latest version of Office as long as you keep it up-to-date. Depending on your operating system, check for Office updates for PC or Office updates for Mac.

If you don’t see some of the newer features in your app, you might not have received the update yet or your Office 365 admin restricts Office updates until the features can tested with other programs and add-ins in your organization.
