Windows 10: Office 2016 Public Preview now available

Check all apps, it's there for me

 

Only problem I had with the install is it would not accept my Microsoft account, had to use the Product Key instead. Still don't like the creation of business cards in Word.

 

You have to scroll down... it's the last item.

 

Does outlook show as Outlook 2013 for you guys?

 

Yep, it does for me as well. It's actually 2016 though.

 

Thanks, though maybe it was a snafu form my failed attempt to install 2013 *Redface

 

Thanks, I had to reboot to get Word to show up in the list.

Only thing I've noticed so far with Outlook on my Exchange account is its rather slow moving through subfolders of my account's Inbox, and moving to other mapped mailboxes.

 

Hi there

I've been using this since a Leaked version was available some while ago (Ms since removed the link !!) --glad I can now use a "proper" copy. !!

IMO this is far superior to Office 2013 --has better themes etc and I'm certainly going to get it at release.

Incidentally Office 2010 still runs concurrently with it (both x-64 versions on my systems) and even if you use OUTLOOK the same OUTLOOK files work so you don't lose any email data when trying the preview.

Note though it might appear as Office 2013 when you check your account -- but it's office 2016. I'm installing this new version now.

After install and activate via product key the activation now shows Office 2016. Valid for 179 days.

Cheers

Hi there

shows up for me as Office 2016 now.

Outlook opens as Outlook preview (trial) No mention of 2013 anywhere --and I think the themes are much much better than office 2013.

Cheers

I show that too @jimbo45, but on the start menu it says 2013

 

Is Office 2016 available for testing on Windows 10 for everybody? Or just those with a Office 2013 account?

I didnt either, but I did notice that Outlook no longer worked.

 

I decided to install it on my main machine and went from 32bit to 64bit just for the Hell of it. I had to install it twice before things worked properly. The only problem I have had so far is the WinZip Courier bombs but I can't remember when I last used that so I uninstalled WinZip Courier.
