Step 1: Deactivate your Office 365 installation.

• Go to Office.com, and sign in to your Office account. • Under the Install Info section, find your installed and activated Office 365, and then under Installed, click Deactivate.

After you deactivate from the old computer, the next step is to install Office 365 and activate the subscription on the new computer.

Step 2: Install and activate Office 365 on your new computer.

Go to the Microsoft Office home page. From there, click on your account and then click "My Account." Under the "Install" section, click the "Install" button to download Office 365. After a few seconds, you should see a setup.exe file downloading. When it does, open the installer, and it will automatically install Office 365 on your computer.
