Don’t forget to upgrade to Office 365

Discover how to install Office 365 to your laptop and the training and support materials available…

Upgrading your laptop is no-one’s idea of fun, but with Office 365 you get to choose when to upgrade – because you will be installing it.

Choosing when you press install means you don’t have to juggle installing Office 365 on your laptop in between meetings and you don’t need to bring your laptop to the office. You do this in the comfort of your own home, at a time to suit you. You can do this at the end of the day before you log off, and leave it running while you leave your desk.

Installing the software is easy and doesn’t take long. It will give you access to the latest Office products including Word, Excel and PowerPoint and what’s more, you can access Office 365 at any time, from any device – as long as you are connected to the internet.
