Once you're signed in, click the "My account" link at the bottom of the page.

Under "Install", click the "Install" button.

In the "Install Information" section of the "My Office Account" page, click the "Language and install options" link.

NOTE: In Firefox, you can choose whether you want to save downloaded files to a location you specify or whether you want to be asked for a location every time. Other browsers may have different options for download locations for files.

NOTE: You can also directly access the downloaded file using File Explorer.

A User Account Control box may display asking you for permission to install the application. Click "Yes" to continue installing Office 2013.

An banner displays while Office is "Getting things ready...".

Office 2013 is then installed in the background and may take a while, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

When the installation is done, the following "Welcome to your new Office" dialog box displays. You can either go through some screens that help you finish setting up Office by clicking "Next" or you can close this dialog box by clicking the "X" button in the upper-right corner.

NOTE: You cannot install Office 2016 and Office 2013 on the same computer.
