  • You can easily verify this by opening the Windows 10 settings and navigating to “Update & Security” > “Activation.” Here, Windows 10 displays the installed edition and activation status.

  • For installation, activation, and downloading updates for Office 2021, internet access is required. Once installed and activated, core applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be used offline. However, some specific features and services, such as Office updates and cloud services (e.g., OneDrive), still require an internet connection.

  • For installation, activation, and downloading updates for Office 2024, internet access is required. Once installed and activated, core applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be used offline. However, some specific features and services, such as Office updates and cloud services (e.g., OneDrive), still require an internet connection.

  • Activation confirms the authenticity of your software copy and ensures it is used according to the license terms. It is usually done by entering a product or license key, granting full access to all features and updates of the software.

  • If online activation fails, try the following:

    1. Check internet connection.
    2. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus.
    3. Run as administrator.
    4. Set the system time correctly.
    5. Use Microsoft’s support and recovery assistant.
    6. Try phone activation.

They complement Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and can be installed on the same computer alongside these. Pay attention to compatibility regarding version (year) and 32-bit or 64-bit.

    Example 1: Visio 2013 Prof Plus with Office 2016 Prof Plus -> not compatible, so both programs cannot be used simultaneously on one system.

    Example 2: Visio 2013 Prof Plus with Office 2013 Prof Plus -> compatible, both programs can be installed and used on one system without any problems.

  • No other or older Office applications should be installed on your system. If you have issues installing Office, try the following:

    1. Run as administrator: Right-click on the installation file > “Run as administrator.”
    2. Disable antivirus: Temporarily disable your antivirus program and try installing again.
    3. Check your internet connection: A stable connection is important.
    4. Uninstall and reinstall Office: Remove existing Office installations and reinstall the package.
    5. Update system: Update your operating system.
    6. Check storage space: Ensure sufficient storage space for installation.
    7. Look for error messages: For specific errors, consult the Office support page or contact Microsoft support.
  • The period after download in most options is limited to 30 or 60 days. Want to use the Office programs beyond the trial period? You’ll need to activate Office with a license key.

  • To install a new operating system on a PC without an operating system, follow these steps:

    1. Choose an operating system (e.g., Windows or Linux).
    2. Download the operating system as an ISO file and save it to a USB drive to create a bootable USB drive. For Windows, use the “Windows Media Creation Tool.”
    3. Restart your PC and press a key (often F2, F10, or DEL) to enter the BIOS or UEFI. Change the setting to boot from your USB drive.
    4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions. Choose where the operating system should be installed and provide necessary information.
    5. Complete the installation and restart the PC. Remove the USB drive so the PC boots with the new operating system.

    Now, the new operating system is installed and ready for setup.
