• When Office starts to be installed on your PC, a Software Center pop up “Downloading and Installing Software” message  will appear
• Click on the message to check the status if you want to follow the installation from start to finish
• This will open the Software Center window on your device  – here you can track the status of the download, if not, the download will happen in the background

• Once the downloading is complete the installation will begin – if you have any Office applications open, the software will warn you before closing

Note – This will remove O2016 in the background so ensure you do not open any MS apps whilst the installation is going ahead (if you need to check your emails/documents feel free to visit office.com).

• Once the installation is complete you will see the following message

• Click on close and you’ll now be able to open any office-based application -you’ll find the links to the programs on your Start Menu

Note – If you restart your device during the download, lost internet connection or pause the installation, you will need to select the Retry option from the Software Center
