hi i'm agent bennett and today i'll show
you how to set up your microsoft 365
subscription and how you can access
office apps like word excel powerpoint
and outlook on all your devices as well
as your computer microsoft 365 family is
great for up to six users and microsoft
365 personal is perfect for a single
user here's what you'll need
your microsoft account login info if you
already have an account and your
microsoft 365 activation key your
activation key can be found on your
receipt and will also be sent to the
email address you provided during the
purchase so if you did this online your
activation key should be in your email
oh and you'll also need a computer or
other device like a phone or tablet i'll
be using a laptop running windows 10 as
well as my samsung galaxy s20 fe
the steps might be a little different
depending on your devices alright let's
get started
i subscribed online so my code was
emailed to me
there's an install now link in the email
click it to open a new browser window if
you don't see the link you can also
visit
microsoft365.com backslash setup or
click the link in the notes below
once you're there you will automatically
be prompted to sign into your microsoft
account
if you already have an account go ahead
and do that if you don't have one no
problem you can simply create one
i already have an account and since my
computer is running windows 10 it
automatically knows and enters my
account login credentials however if
that doesn't happen you can easily enter
yours manually now type in the product
key or copy and paste it from the email
you might have to wait a few seconds but
once the key is confirmed you'll see the
version of microsoft 365 that you
purchased click next
your purchase is now registered under
your account and you'll see a thank you
screen like this when it's complete
now let me show you how to download some
of the common office apps that are
included with your subscription click
download desktop apps
and from the portal click install office
and then install
click run to start the installation

this will take some time depending on
the speed of your internet and computer
when you see this message the
installation is complete and you can
click close
now you can check out your new apps
here's how click the start button and
you can see your office apps are all
ready to go
launch a few just to make sure
everything is working properly i'll do
that now
first i'll open word then excel
powerpoint outlook and then onedrive
looks like everything was installed and
is working properly then when you're
ready it's time to move to the next part
of the process installing them on your
smartphone or tablet start by opening
your app store on my samsung i'll go to
google play store
however if you're using an ios device
you would go to the app store
inside of the google play store search
for microsoft 365.
this one app will give you access to
word excel powerpoint or any of the
other microsoft 365 apps that are
included with your subscription i'll
walk you through the installation
process with onedrive which is a part of
the microsoft 365 subscription but the
process is similar for the other apps
onedrive is great for many things
including backing up photos on your
phone and since you get one terabyte of
storage per user with your subscription
you can get started right away
on the search bar type in
onedrive once you find it tap install to
download it onto your phone
open the app and you'll see a quick
overview on how to use it
when you're ready tap got it
now since my google account and my
microsoft account use the same email
address onedrive will sign me in
automatically you might have to sign in
manually depending on your account
information if that's the case make sure
you use the same microsoft login
information that you used to activate
your microsoft 365 subscription
to get photos to sync tap see my photos
and then go to the menu and tap me
tap settings
gallery sync
and then set the slider to on
tap back twice
and then tap photos
you'll see your photos have already
started to sync
now whenever i take a picture on my
phone it'll show up in the gallery and
it will also be backed up on onedrive
i can also access my photos from other
devices so i won't lose them if
something happens to my phone
that's a great benefit of using onedrive
you can start something like a word
document on one device like your phone
and finish on another like a laptop
since the documents live in the cloud
you'll always pick up right where you
left off regardless of the device
there's one more thing i want to mention
if you have a microsoft 365 family
subscription check out the microsoft
family safety app it's a separate free
app that protects the ones you love with
digital and safety features like
location alerts driving history and
driving reports
it's a useful app and even more features
are unlocked for those with a family
subscription
