Office 365 is now available for purchase and installation from the Microsoft Store. It was first available only for Windows 10 S but has now expanded to support Windows 10.

If you want to install from the Microsoft Store, you first need to uninstall your current installation.

Once Office 365 is installed from the Microsoft Store it will automatically be updated like the rest of the store apps.

From the looks of it you can install the following:

  • Office 365 Personal
  • Office 365 Home

I currently install Office 365 Home from https://Office.com but I’m going to try this option out.

Enjoy!

If you’re not already saving your work to the Cloud (OneDrive or another) then you should seriously consider doing this. It provides a better experience and also peace of mind that your content is backed up to the cloud and accessible from just about any device.

Enjoy!
