Thank you for your purchase! We’re delighted you chose our Office suite. If you’ve just received your Office 2021 and aren’t quite sure how to get started – no problem. This guide will walk you through the entire installation process step by step, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Choosing the right version – 32-bit or 64-bit?
Before you begin, you need the right version for your system:
64-bit version: https://rb.gy/mxbp4u Ideal for modern and powerful computer systems with appropriate hardware
32-bit version: https://rb.gy/lsh55o The most reliable choice for maximum compatibility and stability
Our recommendation: Use the 32-bit version, as it works most reliably with most systems and add-ins. This will save you from potential compatibility problems.
Removing old Office versions – The most important step
Before installing Office 2021, you must completely remove all previous Office versions. This is the most common cause of installation problems and errors. Here’s how:
Find and delete old Office versions
- Go to Settings → Apps & Features
- Or use the Control Panel → Programs and Features
- Search for all Office entries (2019, 2016, Office 365, etc.)
- Uninstall each version individually
Very important: After every uninstallation, you must restart your PC. Otherwise, remnants will remain that can block the new installation.
Complete and clean removal with Revo Uninstaller
For a truly thorough removal, we recommend the free tool Revo Uninstaller:
- Download Revo Uninstaller for free and run the program: https://www.revouninstaller.com/de/
- Search for entries such as: Microsoft Office 2019 Click-to-Run or individual programs such as Word, Excel, Outlook
- Uninstall each entry individually
- Then select the „Advanced“ scan mode.
- Delete all found registry entries and temporary files.
- Repeat this for all Office components.
Finally: Restart your PC. Now your system is clean and ready for the new installation of Office 2021.
Installing Office 2021 – Step by Step
Now it’s simple and straightforward:
- Download your Office suite using the download link above.
- Open the file by double-clicking – Windows 10/11 will automatically mount it.
- Start the installation via start.bat or run
Important: Do not use programs like WinRAR or WinZip – this can damage the folder structure and lead to errors.
If necessary: Right-click on the installation file → „Run as administrator“ – this often resolves permission problems.

After successful installation, you need to activate Office to use all its features:
- Open Word (or another Office program)
- Click on File
- Go to account
- Select „Enter product key“ or „Change license“
- Enter your product key
Done! Your Office 2021 is now fully activated and ready to use.
