"I'm buying a new desktop computer. I already have Office 365. How do I transfer it to my new computer?"

As we all know, transferring files from an old computer to a new one is quite a straightforward operation. However, moving applications is another story, especially when it comes to activating Office 365 on the new device. Does this sound complicated? Don't worry. We recommend using third-party software – the Todo PCTrans tool and a manual method – to tackle this issue.

Before you begin the migration process, you need to know the following:

**1. Check your Office 365 subscription.**

Office 365 is available in versions for individuals, households, and businesses. Personal subscriptions allow you to install the application on one PC, and Home subscriptions allow installation on up to five PCs.

If you have the personal edition, you'll need to transfer your Office 365 license to the new computer.

2. Please remember your product key.

After the transfer is complete, you'll need to enter your product key to activate Office 365.

Here are some suggestions to help you view the product key, or use the Product Key feature of the Todo PCTrans tool.

1. Check your Microsoft Office account.

Go to the online Microsoft Office Store at Microsoft's website. Sign into your account.

2. Find your email address.

Microsoft Office Store: Usually, if you bought your product from the Microsoft Store, they sent you an electronic receipt that contains your installation information. As long as you haven't deleted the email, you should be able to find your product key there. Retail store: If you bought your Office apps in a physical store, check the packaging or original disc for a card or label with the product key.

3. Find your product key in the Microsoft Store.

If you don't have the digital or physical card, contact the online store to get it.

• Go to the Microsoft Store, sign in to your account, view your order history, and then click Install Office. Click Install again, and then click Hey there. Let's get started with the install.

Then you can run your Office 365 on the new device and complete the activation.

Manually transfer Office 365 to a new computer

If you have an Office 365 Home subscription, you don't have to transfer your Office 365 license to the new computer. But if you have an individual subscription, you need to uninstall Office from the old computer.

Step 1: Turn off the Office 365 install.

• Go to Office.com, and sign in to your Office account. • Under "Install Info," click on the installed Office 365 > Installed > Click on "Deactivate."

After you deactivate Office from the old computer, the next step is to install and activate Office 365 on the new computer.

Step 2: Install and activate Office 365 on your new computer.

Go to the Microsoft Office website. Click on your account, then click “My Account.” Under “Installs,” click the “Install” button to download Office 365. After a few seconds, you should see a setup.exe file downloading. An installation window will then pop up, and the installer will automatically install Office 365 on your computer.
