Choosing a package

Now that you’ve chosen the package you want, you can use the Buy Now feature to buy it, or the Try feature to test it out.

Once all that is done, you will be asked to introduce your payment option details. Do that and finish the purchase. Next, simply download and install the software. You just hit “Next” a bunch of times, to put it simply, so there’s nothing elaborate about the installation process.

So there you have it, that’s the short guide on how to get Office 365 up and running on your home or work machine with ease. There is nothing more elaborate simply because the entire process is simple and easy to see through the end.
