Before you proceed:
Valid license or volume license: You must have a valid license (e.g. retail, volume licensing) for Office 2024.
Administrator rights: You’ll need admin rights on your PC to install Office.
Modern Windows: Make sure your OS is compatible with Office 2024.
Follow licensing rules: Do not install or distribute pirated versions. Always use genuine Microsoft software.
Go to config.office.com and define which Office apps and versions you want (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). Save/export your configuration file (usually an XML).
Download Microsoft’s Office Deployment Tool (ODT) from Microsoft’s website. This tool helps you download the installation files and run installations.
Use guidance from Microsoft’s official docs (the “Office Install Command” link) to build your command or XML that refers to your configuration and download sources.
If you're using volume licensing, get the Generic Volume License Keys (GVLKs) from Microsoft’s docs. These are sometimes needed to activate.
Use the deployment tool with your command file / configuration to download and install office. After installation, activate using your license (or via volume activation methods).
You control exactly which apps are installed (no unnecessary apps).
You get updates from Microsoft (security fixes, new features).
Ensures your installation is genuine and properly licensed.
