✅ Recommended method (use the uninstall option in the automatic installer)
Open the automatic Office installer link included in your delivery instructions.
Launch the installer on your Windows PC.
When prompted about an existing Office installation, choose the option to uninstall the current version.
Follow the on-screen steps to complete the removal.
Before proceeding, save your work and close all Office apps.
When the uninstall finishes, restart your computer if prompted (recommended).
After rebooting, you can run the same installer again and continue with the installation of your new Office version.
✅ How to confirm Office was removed
After restarting, verify Office is no longer installed by checking:
The Start Menu (Word, Excel, etc. should no longer appear)
Settings > Apps (Office should not be listed)
If you’re reinstalling, proceed using the same automatic installer from your instructions.
