Does anyone know how to do this???
Would it work if i downloaded and installed onto a computer that was completely empty then move it to a usb and then to the computer without internet connection. I have already bought a package and need to be able to do this, any ideas?
 
Solution


From that Office link, above:
"If your Office 2016 or Office 2013 product is included under one of the Office for home plans and you're having problems with slow speed or unreliable connections, you can download the offline installer file. You can then install Office offline on a PC at your convenience."
Is this a physical copy or an office 365 copy?

If it is a retail physical copy then just install with CD.

If office 365 then no, you need internet connection.
 


unfortunately it is not a physical copy
 


What "package" did you buy, specifically?
 


Office Home & Student 2016
 


Online, as a download thing, right?
The above linked Offline installer should work.
 


Not sure what you're saying here, My one computer can be online, the other (which needs the office applications) is not.

Solution
You can download via that link, save the file, move it to the system you actually want to install on & run the installer (appears as it's own drive when running).
