How to install Microsoft Office?
Step 1: Clearing Existing Office Applications
Prior to installing your new Office application, it’s crucial to remove any existing Office applications from your computer. This step is essential to prevent potential conflicts that could disrupt activation.
Uninstalling your old Office version will not delete your files (Word, Excel, etc.), as they are stored separately from the software. You can still access them with Office 2021 Professional Plus. For extra security, consider backing up your files.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features. Uninstall the older version of Office, including OneDrive.

Microsoft offers a comprehensive guide on uninstalling previous Office versions, particularly if you’ve previously used Microsoft 365.
You can access the guide from the link here.
Once you’ve confirmed that no Office applications remain on your system, please restart your device to ensure the changes take effect. Afterward, you’ll be ready to install your new Office suite.
