1. Preparation

Before you install Office 2016, you need to prepare your computer. It is strongly recommended to have only one Office installed in your computer. So, before starting the installation process, it is very important to uninstall all previously installed Office versions: old Office, Office 365 or Microsoft 365 trial versions. It is recommended to follow the Option 2 – Completely uninstall office with the uninstall support tool of the Microsoft Office uninstallation guide and completely uninstall Office with their removal tool named Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant. You can directly download the tool by clicking here
