There is no difference between the way headers and footers work in Word 2016 from that in earlier versions. Every section of a document has potentially three different header and footer ranges.

If you want a different header and footer on the first page then set the different first page option for the first section and put whatever you want in (or remove from) that first page's header and footer. If you don't want a page number on the first page, then don't insert one in that page's footer.

Put whatever you want on the second page in the second page header/footer.

If you want the third page to be different again, you can either conditionally insert the header and footer { IF { PAGE } = "2" "Do this" "Otherwise do this" }

or you can insert a section break and start again with the ehaders and footers for the second section (which can be formatted differently from those in the first section by unlinking them from the first section)

As long as there are at least three pages in your document when you set the headers and footers it is a simple matter to use the header/footer Design tab controls to page through the various headers and footers.
