I am presentlly using a Dell comuter from 2016. I own Office 2016. I just bought a new Dell. My notes say I can uninstall from the old and reinstall on the new and I have the key. I use Word extensively, none of the others. I am the only user. Will spending $149 for the current version of Office get me an upgraded, enhanced version of Word?



Thanks in advance,

Yes, you can reinstall your Office 2016 on the new PC. Technically, there is no need to uninstall the existing copy; it makes no difference to the reinstallation process.

I do not know that Office 2024 is substantially better than Office 2016. I am using 365 and do not necessarily like the "improvements."


Assuming that you registered your 2016 with your office account, log in on your new computer, go to the Services & Subscriptions tab and scroll to the bottom of the page where Office 2016 should be in your purchases. Click on it to get a link to download.


You may have to deactivate the installation on the old computer. That is also done on that account page.
