Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

called best buy geek squad

Do you know what exactly they did wrong ?

Customer Replay

Best Buy told me they would back up my computer before repair. Now I have my computer back and no office 365. They can't figure out how to reinstall it, can you?

Got it.

  1. Go to www.office.com and if you're not already signed in, select Sign in.
  2. Sign in with the account you associated with this version of Office.
  3. From the home page select Install Office
  4. Select Office 365 apps to begin the installation.

Can you please follow steps above to download Office 365 ?
