Good to know
Downloading and installing Office
Is Internet access required for Office?
Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office. After purchase, you
must visit www.office.com/setup to enter a product key and create an account (Microsoft account).
What is my Microsoft account and why do I need it for my Office software?
A “Microsoft account” is the new name for what used to be called a “Windows Live ID.” Your
Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you use to sign in to
services like Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, or Outlook.com. If you use
an email address and password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft
account—but you can also sign up for a new one at any time.
You need to sign in to your account, or create a Microsoft account, when you install the latest Office
suites. The Microsoft account you use to install your Office suite will be the one you sign in with
every time you want to manage your account, all you have to do is return to
www.office.com/myaccount and sign in with your Microsoft account.
Should I install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office?
The 32-bit version of Office is installed by default. Even if your computer is running a 64-bit version of
Windows, we recommend that you install the 32-bit version of Office, because it is more compatible
with the applications and add-ins that work with Office
How do I obtain a back-up copy of my Office product?
There are several ways to get a back-up for your Office product: You may order a DVD back-up copy
for Office Home & Business 2013 or Office Professional 2013 for a fee. Visit
www.office.com/downloadoffice for details. (Back-up copies are available in limited markets)
