How to download and install Microsoft 365 applications

In days gone by, Microsoft shipped on physical disks that could take a long time to install. Nowadays, the software is available online to download and install, quickly and conveniently.

If you have an older version of Microsoft Office (or associated applications) on your computer, it’s a good idea to uninstall them, before proceeding with the installation of the latest edition of the productivity suite. Follow this guide to learn how to uninstall Microsoft Office.

Once you’ve purchased your HostPapa Microsoft 365 subscription, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a username and a temporary password that will allow you to access the Microsoft 365 portal.
