How can I transfer the Microsoft Office Suite to a new computer?
1. Use an easy transfer tool
If you are looking for the easiest, fastest, and most secure way to transfer Office on a different PC, we suggest using a dedicated transfer tool. Laplink PCMover Professional is able to transfer any edition of Office, other applications and accounts as well. All you need to do is install the tool on both PCs, the old one and the new one, and then follow the on-screen instructions for the transfer to start. Make sure that you have the product key for the programs you need to move so that you can install them on the new devices once the transfer is completed.
2. Perform the transfer
2.1. Deactivate Office
2.2. Uninstall Office from your computer
2.3. Install Office
However, if you want to have Office installed on more than 1 computer, maybe you should check out one of the Office 365 subscriptions which will allow you to deploy your copy on up to 5 units that run Windows or Mac. That’s about all the steps you need to do in order to transfer your Office to another PC. If you have additional suggestions or recommendations, feel free to list them in the comments section below.
