Installing Office 2024? Avoid Conflicts with Preinstalled Office 365 & Outlook – Get Assistance Her
I have a new Windows 11 PC that I intend to buy and install the standalone version of Office 2024 (either Home or Pro). I read somewhere about possible installation problems, and that was when I had my suspicions: these problems would arise because of possible preinstalled Office 365 and the new Outlook appIf such is the case, would I then remove both Office 365 and the upgraded Outlook before installing Office 2024? What would be the entire uninterrupted uninstillation procedure?
