Getting started is straightforward—requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account (free to create at account.microsoft.com). Your purchase includes a 25-character product key delivered via email. Uninstall any prior Office versions to avoid conflicts. Here’s the step-by-step guide:

1. Download:
   • Go to setup.office.com (or your retailer’s provided link).
   • Sign in with your Microsoft account (or create one).
   • Enter your product key when prompted to redeem it—this links the license to your account permanently.
   • Select “Office Home & Business 2024” from your services, choose your language and version (PC or Mac, 64-bit preferred), then click Install.
   • The installer (Setup.exe for PC or .pkg for Mac) downloads automatically (~4 GB for PC, ~10 GB for Mac).
2. Install:
   • On Windows PC: Double-click the downloaded Setup.exe file. Follow the on-screen prompts—it auto-downloads files and installs in 10-30 minutes. Restart if prompted.
   • On Mac: Open the .pkg file, follow the installer wizard, and grant permissions. Installation takes 15-45 minutes; restart your Mac afterward.
   • Apps will appear in your Start menu (PC) or Applications folder (Mac). Launch any app (e.g., Word) to verify.
