Before You Begin

Check Your Requirements

Make sure your license delivery email has arrived and you have your product key ready. Check that your device meets the minimum requirements for the product you purchased:

For Microsoft Office
  • Windows 10 or later, or macOS 12 or later
  • 4GB RAM (8GB recommended)
  • 4GB of available disk space
  • Internet connection required for activation
For Windows
  • 1 GHz or faster compatible processor
  • 4GB RAM (8GB recommended for Windows 11)
  • 64GB or more available storage
  • DirectX 12-compatible graphics device
Installing Microsoft Office

Download, Install, Activate

  1. Download Office
    1. Go to setup.office.com
    2. Sign in with your Microsoft account, or create one if you don't have one yet
    3. Enter the product key exactly as it appears in your delivery email
    4. Click "Install Office" and let the download finish
  2. Run the Installer
    1. Open the downloaded installer file
    2. Click "Yes" if prompted by your device's security settings
    3. Wait for Office to finish downloading and installing
    Installation time varies with your internet speed and device — this can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 20 or so on a slower connection. Let it run without interrupting.
  3. Activate Office
    1. Open any Office application (Word, Excel, etc.)
    2. Sign in with the same Microsoft account used during download
    3. Your license activates automatically — no further action needed
Installing Windows

Create Media, Install, Activate

  1. Create Installation Media
    1. Download the Windows Media Creation Tool directly from Microsoft
    2. Run the tool and select "Create installation media"
    3. Choose a USB flash drive with at least 8GB of free space
    4. Follow the prompts to create bootable installation media
  2. Install Windows
    1. Insert the USB drive and restart your computer
    2. Boot from the USB drive (usually by pressing F12, F2, or Del during startup)
    3. Follow the Windows setup wizard
    4. Enter your product key when prompted
  3. Activate Windows
    1. Go to Settings > System > Activation
    2. Click "Change product key"
    3. Enter your license key from your delivery email
    4. Click "Next" to activate
Back up your files before installing a new copy of Windows. A fresh installation can erase existing data on the target drive.
