We are thrilled to see the positive response for the launch of Office 2016 last week. We’ve received a ton of great feedback and wanted to address some of your top questions:
- How do I get Office 2016 for Windows if I’m an Office 365 customer?
As an existing Office 365 subscriber, Office 2016 is immediately available to you, and based upon your plan, you can choose to manually update or wait for the scheduled automatic update. Below are links to instructions to manually update to Office 2016:

- Office 365 ProPlus (including E3/E4) customers are typically managed by an IT department and they determine when to deploy Office 2016. Please contact your IT department for your company’s specific timeline. Manual updates are available for download by Office 365 administrators. Please see Prepare to update Office 365 ProPlus to the Office 2016 version for more information.

Sep 26, 2014 Coan anyone confirm if I simply have to have Windows running so that Office for Windows is downloaded instead of Office for Mac? In addition, I already have the Office 365 Personal for Mac files on my computer with an expired licence therefore would it be better to remove these files before downloading the Windows version?

5. Are there system requirements I should be aware of when installing Office 2016?
Yes, Outlook 2016 requires Exchange Server 2010 or later.
Additionally, Office 2013 Click-to-Run standalone applications, including Project and Visio, cannot run on the same device as Office 2016 Click-to-Run applications.

6. Can I install a subset of the Office 2016 applications?
Office 365 For Mac Review
No, the ability to selectively install individual applications is not available with Office 2016. The vast majority of customers prefer the full installation of all of the Office apps so they are assured that they have the ability to open, view and edit any document they may need. We will continue to evaluate feedback on this topic.
7. What features are only available with Office 365?
Some of the features in Outlook 2016 such as Clutter and Office 365 Groups require Office 365 email and calendaring support. GigJam, Planner and Delve are only available to business customers through the Office 365 portal. Some qualifying Office 365 subscriptions also include support for unlimited online meetings, 1TB of cloud storage per user, and team websites. We will also be providing additional updates and new features to Office 365 customers on a monthly basis going forward that will not be available to those who buy Office 2016 as a one-time purchase option.
