Everyone - How to Download Microsoft 365 Applications

Microsoft offers Office 365 applications (newly renamed Microsoft 365) free to CWI students. The best/easiest way is to download these apps through your student email. Downloading it from the Microsoft website can cause problems because CWI has a “.edu” email address. If you have problems with Microsoft 365 products after or during downloading, you may need to contact Microsoft at 1-877-696-7786.

Purpose

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to download and install Microsoft Office 365 applications directly onto a computer, rather than using the web browser versions.

 

Process

1. Log in to the computer where you want to install the Office 365 applications.

2. Log into your student email at mail.cwi.edu or go to the student email section under Log In on cwi.edu

3. Once on the home screen, Click on the 'waffle icon' on the top left corner of the screen.

4. Click on the More Apps link in the bottom left of the app selection window.

5. You will be redirected to a new window. Select Install Apps on the top right corner of the page.

6. Select Microsoft 365 apps from the drop down menu that appears.

7. You will be redirected to a new window. In that new window, click the red button that says Install Office and it will run a download that will give you the installer called "OfficeSetup.exe".

Once the File downloads, it will ask you for administrator permissions, click yes and it should show that you are downloading the Office 365 Products.
