Microsoft's Office Editors Pack comes in a variety of versions, differing both in the set of programs and in the year of release. Despite the availability of recent versions, many users still prefer . This is due to low PC requirements, conservative views on the design and location of functions, and much more.
However, often the need to upgrade to an older version still arises. For example, new modules are needed that are not available in older editions. Let's say you want to upgrade to the 2010 version. But you need to do this without removing the main package. Is it possible to upgrade Microsoft Office 2007 to 2010?
Transition to a new office
MS has provided in advance the ability to perform a soft transition to an older version of the editor suite. In this case, you do not need to remove the old Office and install a new one from scratch. In order to keep user settings and a number of other parameters, you can carry out the upgrade process. How to update MS Office?
- Download the original distribution of the 2010 edition from the official site.
- Run the installer.
- After checking the files, it will prompt you with the "Update" feature. Activate it.
- Select the installation type and additional options (remove old versions, remove specific modules, etc.). It is recommended to choose automatic installation if you do not have the necessary skills.
- Upon completion of the process (it can take from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the power of the PC), you will receive an updated version of the package.
Important Aspects
Here it is necessary to note several important nuances. First of all, if you decide to upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010, you will need to activate the edition with a new license key. Yes, sometimes Microsoft has promotions where you can upgrade to an older version for free. But that rarely happens. In most cases, it is necessary to re-purchase a new product.
However, don't worry. After the transition, you will be given a 30-day grace period. During this time, you can use the full version of the package, that is, use all available modules and download updates. If everything suits you, then it remains to purchase a license key and go through activation. If, after 30 days, the procedure is not completed, then the software from Microsoft will go into limited functionality mode.
At intervals of 1-2 years or more, Microsoft releases updates to its Office product line. You can install updates without deleting the previous version of the program and personal data.
Instruction
As you know, the Russian version of Office 2016 for Windows was released recently, so if you are an Office 365 subscriber (and you want to try the trial version), then you have the opportunity to upgrade to the new version right now.
The update process is quite simple. We will now review it briefly. Note that starting the update from already stopped Office 2013 applications will not work. In addition, you can already buy the new Office 2016 package in the Microsoft online store, both with and without a subscription in versions. The prices will certainly crush you.
What do you think - is it worth upgrading? If you take into account the fact that you work with documents on Windows and OS X, then it’s clear that you need to update (what is there, what is there - there will be one office). If you have Office 365 in your subscription and the 2013 version is installed, then it's even better - the settings will be saved, and it's a pleasure to see the new product, and I hope without bugs.
Update process
In order to complete the update process, you need to go to the official website https://products.office.com/ru-RU/ and log into your account to which you have registered a subscription.
When you go to the account page, you can see the button " Installation”, clicking on which the following page will appear, where you can start the installation process.
As a result, a new installer will be downloaded, and it will automatically download and install new Office 2016 applications, replacing all existing 2013 programs. It takes approximately 20-25 minutes to download and install.
By following the link above, you can install a free new trial version of Office 2016 by going to the "Learn what's new" section.

And for you, I will write a few points:
- More adequate document collaboration functions;
- Integration with Windows 10;
- Handwriting of formulas (judging by the demos, it works fine);
- Automatic data analysis (I did not understand this);
- Smart hints, search for definitions on the Internet, and more.

Often, after the release of some software, developers are still working on it for some time, finalizing some functions and correcting bugs. Accordingly, after that, updates are released that each user can install on their computer. The same applies to the office suite from Microsoft. This article will show you how to update Microsoft Office in three different ways.
Method 1: Through the Microsoft Office program
Perhaps the most common method is to use the office software directly. Now it will be told how to update Microsoft Office Word, however, by following the instructions below, other programs from the package will also be automatically updated.

Immediately after that, a new window will appear, in which the process of checking for new updates will be started. If the system does detect them, then you will be prompted to start installing a new version of the software. Give an affirmative answer to initialize its installation.
This was the first way to update Microsoft Office. Recall that by following this guide in Word, other programs from the office suite will be automatically updated.
Method 2: Turn on Automatic Updates
In order not to manually check whether a new version has been released each time, you can set up a regular check. In this case, the system itself will notify you when it appears. For example, if you want to automatically update Microsoft Office PowerPoint, then you need to run the following instruction once:
As you can see, setting up automatic updates is practically no different from installing them. You just need to select another option from the drop-down list. But in the future, you do not have to manually re-check the release of new versions each time. When they come out, the operating system itself will notify about it.
Method 3: Through the Microsoft Store
Let's move on to the last, third method. You can update Microsoft Office through the app store. However, it should be borne in mind that the instructions below can only be performed in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Immediately after that, the download and installation of a new version of the selected program will begin. Now you know all three ways to update Microsoft Office.
