How to install office pro plus 2024
Before you start
Please ensure you have your valid product key ready before following these installation steps. If you don't have one, purchase one here.
1. Uninstall Previous Versions
Before starting, please uninstall any previous version of Microsoft Office if you currently have one installed on your system to avoid conflicts.
2. Download Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2024
Select the version and language that matches your system architecture:
32-bit Installer
64-bit Installer (Recommended)
Note for Experienced Users
Please note that you may not be able to redeem the key in setup.office.com, so we strongly suggest you download the software directly using the links above.
3. Extract Files
Save the file to your desktop. When the zip file has finished downloading, right-click on the file and select “Extract All” or “Extract Here”. Now, open the newly created folder next to the downloaded zip file.

4. Run the Installer
Inside the folder, locate the .bat file (often named install or similar). Right-click on this file and select “Run as administrator”.
Figure 2: Run the .bat file as Administrator
Why this method? The purpose of this .bat file is to instruct the setup.exe to use the installconfig.xml file during installation. This ensures the correct version and language of Office is downloaded from Microsoft servers. This method will download a Pro Plus 2024 “preview” version, but the version name will change to the official release name after activation.
5. Activation
Once Office is installed, open any Office application (for example, Word or Excel). Enter your product key and click “Activate”.
If you don’t see an immediate option to enter the product key:
- Click on “Choose another account”.
- Select “Enter a product key instead”.
