    Using my Office on a new computer


    I am running Windows 10 Home v20H2 Build 19042.685 as a Local account.

    Since November 2017 I have had MS Office Professional Plus 2016, v2011 (Build 13426.20404 Click-to-Run) Current Channel, installed and running as a Local account. It was a one-time purchase and not a subscription model so not signed-in to Microsoft Office.

    I still have the Office executable setup file I downloaded (and installed from) including the Product Key I used to verify it. The software is Activated and updates itself as needed.

    Q1 - My computer is now getting old and I am considering getting a new one but will I be able to install my Office software on the new computer using the same Setup executable and Key or is it locked to my existing computer?

    Q2 - If it is possible then what is the procedure? I do not want to uninstall it from my existing computer and then find I cant install it on my new computer.

    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Which version of office have you installed on your computer?

    I suggest you to go to follow the below steps to search the office apps on your computer and check if it helps.

    • Press “Windows+X”, go to “Control panel”.
    • Click on “Programs and features”.
    • Check whether you can find office app located in programs list or not.

    Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Using my Office on a new computer

    Excel Problem With Old Office 2010 on New Windows 10 Computer

    "The first step" of what?

    I suspect you are looking at an uninstall procedure for a trial Office 365 subscription so if you point us to the paragraph you are looking at somebody can sensibly suggest a way ahead. This might well be, as you suggest, using Control panel, Programs & features, <select the application>, right-click, Uninstall.
