To install Office, try signing in directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Steps 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process. Bootcamp, which comes standard with the Mac Operating System, allows you to select which operating system you want to use at startup. Whether you’d like to use Windows for the apps, to play a PC game, or to run professional software that is not Mac compatible, Windows 10 for Mac computers will provide you with everything you need.
