Microsoft 365: Installing Office Apps (Windows)

If you already have Office pre-installed on your new computer, you must uninstall Office first before following the steps below. To uninstall, please see this article: https://grok.lsu.edu/edit/article.aspx?articleid=18792

• Please note: new students, regardless of status, cannot use Office software until their first day of class. Faculty and staff are eligible to use Office on their first day of employment.
   

To Install Microsoft 365 Apps (formerly Office365) on Windows:

1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 using your LSUMail account (e.g. mtigers1@lsu.edu). Please note, if you are off-campus, you may be required to follow additional steps to prove your identity. If you need assistance or more information about this step, please see Microsoft 365: Logging in with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

2. Click on Apps on the left sidebar then click Install apps button at the top right. 

3. Select Microsoft 365 apps. 

4. You will be brought to your account's Apps & Devices page to continue installation.

5. Depending on your browser, select Run (in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer), Setup (in Chrome), or Save File (in Firefox).

• If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? select Yes.
• The install will begin.
• Your install is finished when you see the phrase, "You're all set! Office is installed now" and an animation plays to show you where to find Microsoft 365  applications on your computer. Select Close.

5. Once installation has completed, restart the computer.
