Microsoft has said that the final version of Office 2016 for Windows would be released in the last quarter of the year. Since the general availability of Office 2016 is couple of months away from now, many of you might want to explore the new Office suite for desktop right away.

Before installing Office 2016

Before beginning to download and install on your PC, please uninstall any previous version of Office from your PC as Office 2016 and previous Office version can’t be installed on the same PC. In other words, Office 2016 cannot be installed on a PC where Office 2010 or Office 2013 is installed. If you have a previous version of Office, please follow the given below instructions to uninstall the previous Office installation.

Step 1: Type Programs and Features in Start menu search box (Windows 7) and then press Enter key to open the same. If you’re on Windows 8.1/8/7, open Run command box by simultaneously pressing Windows and R keys, type Appwiz.cpl in the box and then press Enter key.

Step 2: Look for Office 2013 or Office 2010 entry. Right-click on Office 2013/2010 entry, click Uninstall option and then follow on-screen instructions to remove the software. Once Office 2010/2013 is uninstalled, please reboot your PC.

Now that you have uninstalled previous Office installation, make sure that you have at least 5 GB of free space on the drive where Windows is installed. If you don’t have sufficient free space, please delete unnecessary files and uninstall programs that you don’t use anymore to free up some disk space.
