What if I already have a version of Microsoft Office installed?

If you already have a version of Microsoft Office installed you should remove it before downloading the latest version of Microsoft 365. You can run multiple versions of Microsoft Office on one computer, however we don't recommend it.

What happens after I leave Queen's?

Microsoft 365 is a subscription based service, and while you're at Queen's you get this for free. However, when you leave Queen's your subscription with Microsoft ends. At this point you can either:

  • continue to use Microsoft 365 with reduced functionality - you will only be able to read documents, not edit
  • continue to use Microsoft 365 with full functionality by purchasing your own subscription from Microsoft
  • remove Microsoft 365 and install your own copy of software
