Please note that if you wish to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft 365 and you had previously installed it via disk or if your device shipped with Microsoft 365 pre-installed then you need to uninstall the current version and install the latest version via http://office.tcd.ie.

Microsoft Project / Microsoft Visio - If you have either or both of these products installed and wish to keep using them you cannot uninstall your current version of Microsoft 365 without converting your Project / Viso licence to one compatible with Microsoft 365.
