    iF YOU ALREADY have an Office365 account then you don't need to do anything to get Office 2016. It will automatically update your Office 2013 to 2016 when it's ready.

      That's good! Was a bit disappointed the other day when I downloaded it from my UTAS email address and it downloaded 2013. Was hoping for 2016 :P

      • currentfad on 07/10/2015 - 21:33

        That might be because you have an old OS that isn't compatible?

        • Benno123 on 08/10/2015 - 00:34

          Err, no?
          "PC: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 10 Server, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008 R2"
          Windows 8.1 isn't that old.

        • currentfad on 08/10/2015 - 09:50

          @Benno123: Well at least on OSX everyone who was on an older version had 2013 downloaded as opposed to '16. Just a suggestion.

        There is 1 INSTALL NOW button on the page only. The page is https://portal.office.com/Home# . There is no url to change. Have you got a different download URL?

        • praga on 08/10/2015 - 20:04

          Yes, press the install now button. The you browser will start downloading the file. Go to your browser downloads. Right click on the downloaded file and copy url and paste it on the address bar. Then change the X86 to X64 and hit enter.

          Also you can do this way http://imgur.com/c7JvQuZ

      On the main Office 365 Portal page, above the "Install now" button click on "Change" next to the language option. Under "version" click "Advanced" and select 64 bit.
      Pretty silly of Microsoft to hide this important option under language selection.

      that probably means you already have access to it all and you dont need to sign up, the uni has already done it for you.
