Installing Office 2016 On A PC For Students
Installing Office 2016 On A PC For Students
This article covers how CSUF students can remove previous versions of Office, and download & install Microsoft
Office 2016 on a PC workstation.
If you have any other version of Office on your computer/laptop (i.e. Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007 or even
Office 365, etc.) you need to remove it before installing Office 2016. This will help avoid potential clashes between
multiple versions. Screenshots for these steps were taken with Windows 7, but the steps are generally the same for
Windows 10.
Why do I need to uninstall Office 2013/ Office 365 etc if I have it already?
This new version of Office 2016 includes additional programs but it also uses a different licensing system than the
serial numbers that you probably used for your previous Office installation. To avoid any licensing conflicts, uninstall
your previous Office installation and install a new version from Office 365.
Click Uninstall.
NOTE: You MUST restart your computer before installing Office 2016.
10. Sign into Microsoft Office Student Sign In with your current CSUF portal
account.

CSUF this semester.

Install Now button. Review this and uncheck as necessary.

When you run Windows Update, it will now check for Office updates as well. Open your Control Panel and go
to Windows Update. There may be several updates, so be patient as your system installs them. Some updates may
require you to restart your computer.
Once your computer has installed your Office updates, you’re done! Start using your Office 2016 applications.
