Microsoft Office Installation-All You Need to Know

When it comes to creating documents, spreadsheets, presentations, no other tool can match the efficiency of Microsoft Office. Developed by Microsoft, Office is a combination of server software, client software, and services.

Back in 1988, Office was launched with the aim of assisting people in their formal work where they had to create text documents, perform calculations, etc., on their computer system. Over time, it has become one of the most useful software packages and has more than 1.2 billion users worldwide.

In the past you used to get a CD to install Microsoft Office, but that’s not the case anymore. You receive a box with a product key inside that can be redeemed at office.com/setup. You can now directly obtain a copy of the software downloaded and installed from the internet. If you know how to do it right, the process can be completed in a few minutes.

If you have trouble downloading or installing the package, I will show you how to install Microsoft office.

But before you install it, you need to purchase, activate and download the product.
