How do you install word

Before you begin, make sure your PC or Mac meets the system requirements.

If you are reinstalling Microsoft 365, you have already redeemed a product key, or you are installing Microsoft 365 at work or school and know you have a license, then go to the section sign in to download and install Office.

However, if this is the first time you’re installing Microsoft 365, you may have some pre-installation steps to do first. Expand the Learn more section below for more info.

If this is the first time you’re installing Microsoft 365, you may have to complete a set of pre-installation steps first or you may need to follow different steps than what’s contained below. What you do depends if your copy of Microsoft 365 is an Office for home or an Office for business product and whether or not you have a product key you have to redeem, an existing account associated with Microsoft 365, or a pre-assigned license.


Microsoft 365 for home

If you have an Office for home product and it came with a product key*, before installing for the first time (or sharing it if you have Microsoft 365 Family), you need to redeem your product key first.

Go to office.com/setup and sign in with an existing or new Microsoft account and then enter your product key to redeem it*. Redeeming your key is what adds your Microsoft account to Microsoft 365 and you only have to do this once. If you’re renewing a Microsoft 365 subscription with a new product key, use the same Microsoft account you previously associated with your expired version subscription.

Tip: Once this is done, anytime you need to install or reinstall Microsoft 365 you can go straight to the next section, Sign in to download Office and select the tab for help to install on a PC or Mac. Be sure to sign in with the same Microsoft account you used to redeem your product key at office.com/setup.


Microsoft 365​​​​ for business

If your Office for business subscription plan includes the desktop version of the Microsoft 365 apps you won’t see an option to install it unless someone in your organization assigned a license to you.

Learn how to check this in What Microsoft 365 business product or license do I have? or if you’re a Microsoft 365 admin responsible for assigning licenses to people in your organization, see Assign licenses to users.

Once you verify you have a license, anytime you need to install or reinstall Microsoft 365 you can go straight to the section below, Sign in to download Office and select the tab for steps to install on a PC or Mac. You’ll sign in with your work or school account for these versions of Microsoft 365.

*If you don’t have a product key or an account

Some versions of Microsoft 365 such as Office Professional Plus 2021, Office Standard 2021, or a stand-alone app such as Word 2021 or Project 2021 don’t have an associated Microsoft account, or work or school account.

The steps to install these versions can be different depending if you got Microsoft 365 through one of the following ways:

IT departments might use a different method when installing Microsoft 365 for people in their organization. Talk to your IT department for install help.

    The 64-bit version is installed by default unless Microsoft 365 detects you already have a 32-bit version of Microsoft 365 (or a stand-alone Microsoft 365 app such as Project or Visio) installed. In this case, the 32-bit version of Microsoft 365 will be installed instead.

    To change from a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version or vice versa, you need to uninstall Microsoft 365 first (including any stand-alone Microsoft 365 apps you have such as Project of Visio).

Sign in or installation FAQ

The following are a few of the more common questions or issues when trying to install Microsoft 365.

Account questions:

Before you can install Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 you need to associate it with a Microsoft account, or work or school account.

If you have an Office for home product and bought Microsoft 365 at a retail store or online store, but don’t have a Microsoft account, it’s possible you haven’t redeemed your product key yet (if you got one), or you missed the step for linking your recent purchase with an account. Do the following to link an account with Microsoft 365.

For an Office for home product, go to office.com/setup and create a new Microsoft account or sign in with an existing one, then follow the remaining steps on that page such as entering your product key (if you have one). Your account is successfully associated with Microsoft 365 when you see the page, My Office Account followed by your Microsoft account email address, and a button to install Microsoft 365. Select the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.

If the Microsoft account or work or school account isn’t working, see I forgot the username or password for the account I use with Office.

After signing in with your work or school account you don’t see an option to install the desktop applications on the Microsoft 365 home page, go directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Step 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.

Notes: 

  • If your organization uses Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.partner.microsoftonline.cn/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.

  • If your organization uses Microsoft 365 Germany, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.office.de/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.

If you still don’t see an option to install Microsoft 365 on the Microsoft 365 Software page, it’s possible your admin hasn’t assigned a license to you. Find out if you have a license to install Office.

If you’re a student or teacher and your institution didn’t give you a license, find out if you’re eligible to Get Microsoft 365 for free.

If you’re trying to sign in with your work or school account to www.office.com and your sign in is blocked, it likely means your Microsoft 365 administrator set up a security policy that’s preventing you from signing in to that location.

To install Microsoft 365, try signing in directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Steps 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.

Notes: 

  • If your organization uses Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.partner.microsoftonline.cn/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.

  • If your organization uses Microsoft 365 Germany, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.office.de/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.

If you’re still not able to sign in, contact your administrator.

Product key, purchase, and installing older versions of Microsoft 365:

Not all versions of Microsoft 365 include a key, but if yours did, you need to redeem it before you can install Microsoft 365. Go to office.com/setup and sign in with an existing Microsoft account or create a new one, then enter your product key. Follow the remaining prompts to finish linking your Microsoft account with this version of Microsoft 365.

No product key or not sure if you need one? See Using product keys with Office.

Install questions or errors during install

For Microsoft 365 subscriptions only: You can install Microsoft 365 on all your devices and be signed in to five at the same time. To learn more, see How sign in works in Microsoft 365.

If you have Microsoft 365 Family, you can also share your Microsoft 365 Family subscription with up to five family members or other people. Each person can install Microsoft 365 on all their devices and be signed in to five at the same time.

For a one-time purchase of Microsoft 365 such as Office Home & Student, Office Home & Business, or Office Professional:  You can install these non-subscription versions of Microsoft 365 on only one computer. However, you may transfer Microsoft 365 to another computer that belongs to you if you experience a hardware failure, or you buy a new computer. For more information, see the Microsoft License Terms.

If you bought a stand-alone version of an Microsoft 365 app, for example Visio or Word, in most cases you install this app in the same way you install the Microsoft 365 suite, by signing in to www.office.com with your Microsoft account, or work or school account and selecting Install for your stand-alone product.

If you have a subscription to Project Online Professional, Project Online Premium, or Visio Pro for Microsoft 365, see Install Project, or Install Visio for the steps to install the apps that are part of those subscriptions.

If Microsoft 365 seems to be taking a very long time to install, this may be caused by problems with your internet connection, firewall, or anti-virus software. For possible solutions, see Office is taking long to install.

Microsoft 365 can also take long to install because of a slow internet connection (such as a dial-up connection). If you don’t have a good connection, install Microsoft 365 using the Use the Office offline installer.


Microsoft 365

won’t install: Your computer must be running a supported operating system to install Microsoft 365. You can find a list of which systems are supported on the system requirements page. For example, your install won’t be successful if you’re trying to install Microsoft 365 on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system. If your computer can’t install the full desktop version of Microsoft 365, try the free Office Online apps using your desktop browser.

I received an error message: If you got an error message while trying to install Microsoft 365 and it has a Learn More link, select it to get information for how to troubleshoot that particular error. If there wasn’t a link, see Troubleshoot installing Office.

I received an unsupported operating system message: If you got an unsupported operating system error message you may be trying to install Microsoft 365 on an unsupported device such as installing the Mac version of Microsoft 365 on a PC or vice versa, or trying to install Microsoft 365 on a Chromebook or other mobile device. See Unsupported operating system error when installing Office or Set up Office apps and email on a mobile device.

Help with specific applications, and help for Microsoft 365 admins:

If Microsoft 365 is installed, but you need help with Microsoft 365 basics, or learn how to do a specific task such as print a document, set up an account in Outlook, or use VLOOKUP in Excel, go to the top of this page and select Apps or Learn Office.

You can also type what you’re looking for using the search bar in the upper-right corner.

Contact Microsoft

If you weren’t able to resolve your problem, try contacting Microsoft support.

Как установить Word

Microsoft Word – самый популярный в мире текстовый редактор. О нем знают миллионы юзеров по всему свету, и каждый обладатель данной программы сталкивался с процессом ее инсталляции себе на компьютер. Такая задача является сложной для некоторых неопытных пользователей, поскольку требует выполнения определенного количества манипуляций. Далее мы пошагово рассмотрим установку Ворда и предоставим все необходимые инструкции.

Устанавливаем Microsoft Word на компьютер

В первую очередь хочется заметить, что текстовый редактор от компании Майкрософт не является бесплатным. Его пробная версия предоставляется на месяц с требованием предварительной привязки банковской карты. Если вы не хотите платить за программу, советуем подобрать себе аналогичный софт со свободной лицензией. Список такого ПО вы найдете в другой нашей статье по ссылке ниже, а мы перейдем к инсталляции Word.

Подробнее: Пять бесплатных аналогов текстового редактора Microsoft Word

Шаг 1: Загрузка Office 365

Подписка на Office 365 позволяет использовать все входящие компоненты за небольшую плату ежегодно или каждый месяц. Первые тридцать дней являются ознакомительными и вам не нужно ничего приобретать. Поэтому давайте рассмотрим процедуру приобретения бесплатной подписки и загрузки компонентов на свой ПК:

Перейти к странице загрузки Microsoft Word

  1. Откройте страницу продукта Ворд по ссылке выше или через поиск в любом удобном браузере.
  2. Здесь вы можете сразу перейти к приобретению или попробовать бесплатную версию.
  3. Переход к покупке программы Microsoft Word

  4. Если вы выбрали второй вариант, вам следует повторно нажать на «Попробовать бесплатно в течение месяца» в открывшейся странице.
  5. Бесплатная версия программы Microsoft Word

  6. Выполните вход в учетную запись Microsoft. В случае ее отсутствия ознакомьтесь с первыми пятью шагами в руководстве, которое представлено по ссылке ниже.
  7. Вход в аккаунт Microsoft для скачивания Word

    Подробнее: Регистрируем учетную запись Microsoft

  8. После входа в аккаунт выберите свою страну и добавьте способ оплаты.
  9. Добавление способа оплаты для скачивания Microsoft Word

  10. Доступным вариантом является использование дебетовой или кредитной карты.
  11. Оплата картой для скачивания Microsoft Word

  12. Заполните необходимую форму, чтобы привязать данные к учетной записи и продолжить покупку.
  13. Ввод данных карты для скачивания Microsoft Word

  14. После проверки введенной информации вам будет предложено загрузить на свой компьютер инсталлятор Office 365.
  15. Скачать компоненты Microsoft Word

    Lumpics.ru

  16. Дождитесь его загрузки и запустите.
  17. Открыть инсталлятор Microsoft Word

При проверке карты на ней будет заблокирована сумма в размере одного доллара, в скором времени она снова переместится в доступные средства. В настройках аккаунта Microsoft вы можете в любой момент отказаться от подписки на предоставленные компоненты.

Шаг 2: Инсталляция Office 365

Теперь следует установить на свой ПК загруженное ранее программное обеспечение. Все делается автоматически, а пользователю нужно выполнить лишь несколько действий:

  1. После старта инсталлятора дождитесь, пока он подготовит необходимые файлы.
  2. Подготовка к установке Microsoft Word

  3. Начнется обработка компонентов. Будет загружен только Word, однако в случае выбора полной сборки скачается абсолютно все присутствующее там ПО. Во время этого не выключайте компьютер и не прерывайте соединение с интернетом.
  4. Установка компонентов Microsoft

  5. По завершении вы будете уведомлены о том, что все прошло успешно и окно установщика можно закрывать.
  6. Окончание установки компонентов Microsoft

Шаг 3: Первый запуск Word

Выбранные вами программы теперь находятся на ПК и готовы к работе. Найти их можно через меню «Пуск» или же значки появятся на панели задач. Обратите внимание на следующую инструкцию:

  1. Откройте Ворд. Первый запуск может идти продолжительное время, поскольку происходит настройка ПО и файлов.
  2. Открытие программы Microsoft Word

  3. Примите лицензионное соглашение, после чего станет доступным работа в редакторе.
  4. Лицензионное соглашение для пользования программой Microsoft Word

  5. Перейдите к активации софта и следуйте показанным на экране руководствам, или же просто закройте окно, если не хотите производить это сейчас.
  6. Покупка лицензии программы Microsoft Word

  7. Создайте новый документ или воспользуйтесь предоставленными шаблонами.
  8. Создание нового файла в программе Microsoft Word

На этом наша статья подходит к концу. Предоставленные выше руководства должны помочь начинающим юзерам разобраться с инсталляцией текстового редактора на свой компьютер. Кроме этого рекомендуем к прочтению другие наши статьи, которые помогут упростить работу в Microsoft Word.

You’ll need to enter your product key, email and account security details before you can proceed (the product key is on the packaging or should have been provided with your download). The software will then provide prompts for full installation, or follow the installation instructions outlined above in this article.
