Microsoft 365 Family | 12-Month Subscription | Up to 6 People | Word, Excel, PowerPoint | 1TB OneDrive Cloud Storage | PC/Mac Instant Download | Activation Required

Having read all the reviews about Office 365 and the issues some had with installing or activating I was a little hesitant to begin with but decided to list out what I needed to do and I'm glad I did as everything just went so smoothly.I decided to list out my steps for anyone else to follow so as to make it easy - especially if you are not an expert.1. Make sure beforehand as I did that you have set-up a Microsoft Account before installing 365. If you do not it will delay you and you have to go through MS verification and if like me had issues setting up you do not want this to distract you when you are trying to install software.2. Uninstall previous/older version office (mine was 2013). You do not have to, but upon investigation it is recommended so as there are no sharing issues with old Office and new Office. But you can do this afterwards if you prefer.3. Clink on email link (download from Office.com) or as I did which is better go to 'Your Games & Software Library' in your Amazon Account. Here you have the link as well as the 'Product Key' for your reference.4. Upon hitting the link it will take you to Microsoft and the option for you to log onto your account or create an account. As soon as you log on it recognises what you have bought and displays (Office 365 Home) and what you get.5. Make sure you 'toggle off' the free month if you do not want auto-renew at the MS full cost and would rather buy from Amazon at a later date and a better price.6. Follow the steps on the main page and 'download apps' to desktop. This installs Office on your laptop/pc. Again click the option ‘To Run’ rather than download.7. My download and installation took around 10 minutes. Once complete it will tell you and you are good to go..Note: If you log off your MS account as I did and then tried to open 'Word', it automatically gets you to log back onto your account again. No worries as the first time you open one of the MS Office products this is just a verification and assigning the products to you. Once this has been done you can log off your account and use the apps without going online.Hope this helps anyone in the future. From my perspective the whole procedure of buying from Amazon at such a great price (£30 cheaper) and receiving the download email within minutes, right through to installation was so painless I could of done it in my sleep.If you're still sitting on the fence about buying Office 365 Home - don't be, it's a no brainer! Always up to date products and 1TB for each additional user! (Up to five). Such great value for money for the entire household if you have kids.

Latest Update April 2019: The product appears to have a fairly stable price around £70. Auto renew on Microsoft is £80. I watched the price for around a month and it seemed to dip a few pounds on one of the days, but remained at £70 for all the rest of the time. 2018 I paid £61.50, so it's a lot higher on Amazon than it used to be. It's easy to apply the code on Microsoft - go to Office365 sign in area, goto payments & billing and then there is a "Redeem a card or code" link and you can just copy and paste the code over in one paste.Might be possible to get less by complaining to Microsoft. On my renew screen it says that I can pay $79.99 for next autorenew with a free month as well. $80 is £61 and free month would take it to about £56 equivalent. But it is still showing as £80 renew cost on the account screen. But I did check USA autorenew price and it seems $100/year so at least they aren't ripping of British consumers with straight $ to £ conversions.Update: 2016 I purchased this and had a lot of hassle that took a couple of hours to resolve. 2017 I just did a chat with MS to get 10% off renewal (as can be seen below). This year the Amazon price was down at £61.50 and a review by 'I Love Northern Inuits'; made me decide to risk the hassle of trying via Amazon again (well, actually I tried with MS first, but their chat link was broken). It was super-easy, just a few clicks.You get initial usual 'you just bought X' email from Amazon, and then a few seconds later you get a second email with "Access Your Content" link. After clicking that it takes you to a login page, and click the confirm button a couple of times then it takes you through to your Office account page showing it has been extended an extra year. This is now far easier than asking MS for a discount.Old review from 2017I purchased this before and had trouble like some other reviewers - with office needing to be reinstalled. Generally a bit of a pain - although from the questions it seems others somehow managed without all the reinstalling bother.This year I decided that I didn't want to mess around with all the machines of my family, and instead paid the renewal. If you do a chat session with Microsoft they will give you 10% off the £80 renewal price (there is a chat link on the renewal purchase page). I did search the internet for codes to put in their Promo Code box, but didn't find anything and I think the one MS give you is the only way since they need to enable your account to be able to enter a promo code. Took 20 minutes for the MS rep to give me the discount codes - I don't mean arguing, I mean things like sending you an email with a verification code in etc. But not much hassle and you can get on with other things while waiting for them.
