How do I upgrade Office?

 If your current version of Office is a one-time purchase (non-subscription) version of Office such as Office Home & Student or Office Home & Business, to upgrade, you need to buy the latest version. You can choose to purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription or the newest one-time purchase version.

When you're ready to install your new product, see the section below, I'm ready to install Office and follow the upgrade recommendations. Upgrade to Microsoft Family

How do I buy the latest version?

Buy a Microsoft 365 subscription
Purchasing Microsoft 365 is your best option. You'll always have the latest features, security updates, and other improvements. You get Office’s cloud connected features to help you maximize productivity across your devices including 1TB of OneDrive storage, extra features with Office mobile apps, Skype minutes, the option to install Office across your devices, and access to support. Choose between Microsoft 365 Personal (for one person) or Microsoft 365 Family (which you can share with your family).

Buy a one-time purchase version of Office 2019 Get the newest non-subscription version of Office such as Office Home & Student 2019 or Office Home & Business 2019. You can only install these versions of Office on one device. You'll get security updates and fixes during the supported period, but you won’t receive new features or any of the other Microsoft 365 benefits.

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.
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.

Ready to install
When you're ready to install the latest version (either a subscription or non-subscription version of Office), follow the steps in Download and install or reinstall Office on a PC or Mac.

After the installation completes, your new version of Office should update automatically, or you might get a notification an update is ready to apply. (You also have the option to manually check for and apply updates.)

MSN Premium Targets Fast Net Users

When we tested a near-final version of the Microsoft product, we found a broad sweep of incremental changes in protection features, communication capabilities, and content compared with the company's earlier service. An emphasis on Microsoft technology and content strongly contrasts with AOL's outsourcing approach, and intermediate-level users will find the crisp and consistent interface with a denser text format more suitable than AOL's highly graphical, multimedia interface, which appeals to basic users.  MSN Premium Account Good Looks The primary navigation tool, a customizable toolbar at the top of the screen, carries over from Version 8. You can set it to show your most frequently used features, such as News, Search, and Maps, displaying them as text or small, medium, or large icons. The MSN Premium font is easy on the eyes, and many submenu screens have a lot of white space, letting you focus on a single setting or task without too many visual distractions. This versi...
