Can I use a previously purchased version of Office in a new computer?

    Hi, @john walker

    That depends on the Office version and the type of license you purchased.

    To help check if it can be used on the new computer:

    1. Which Office version did you purchase, such as Office 2016, 2019, 2021, or 2024?
    2. Did you buy Office separately, or did it come preinstalled on the old computer?
    3. Is the old computer still available, and is Office still installed on it?

    What version did you purchase? Does it say it is compatible with Windows 11?
