    Uninstall Office from the old PC, if possible. On the new PC, install from https://account.microsoft.com/services . If you need assistance with activation, go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activation/activate-microsoft-perpetual-products-using-the-product-activation-portal .

    Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

    To transfer Office 2016 to another PC, kindly follow the guidelines below:

    Step 1. Make sure that your Office 2016 is associated with your account, or you still have the product key:

    Go to this link: https://setup.office.com/

    Note: If you still have the product key, select "Get Started"

    If it's already associated with your Microsoft account, select "Already entered your product key? Install apps from your Microsoft account"

    Step 2. Uninstall Office 2016 from the old PC:

    Press the Windows key + R, then type in:

    appwiz.cpl

    Then hit OK

    Look for the Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365 app > Right-click, then select Uninstall

    Follow the prompts to uninstall your Office app.

    Then reinstall your Office app by following the steps from the link below:
