Hey everyone,
Looking for advice on how to do this without creating any conflicts on my machine.
- So I've got my personal session (admin) for personal use. I've got Office 2021 installed and activated in this session. When I installed Office, I had only 1 windows session on my system.
- I recently created a 2nd session for work purposes and Office Pro 2021 was already installed and available in that session.
I logged in Office 2021 with my work email address (which carries an office 365 license from work)
However, it didn't overwrite my personal Office Pro Plus license and therefore I'm running Office 2021 in my work Windows session.
The issue is that Office 2021 is not compatible with Autosave when working on a file saved in onedrive which is an issue since I work on a lot of shared files.
Ideally, I would like to have my Office 2021 installed on my personal Windows session.
And Office 365 installed on my work Windows session.
What would be the cleanest way to achieve that?
Option 1: Can I uninstall Office 2021 from my system, reinstall it on my personal session and choose for Office 2021 to be installed only for a specific user (my personal session)
If Office installer offers that possibility, I would then go and install office 365 on my work session. (2 separate sessions, 2 separate Office install)
Option2: If Office 2021 installer doesn't allow you to install Office for a specific user, can I have both office 2021 and office 365 installed on my system without creating conflicts?
Office 2021, I wouldn't change anything, leave it signed in with my personal Microsoft account which carries my Office 2021 license, and use office 2021 only in my personal session.
In my work session, I would install Office 365 and create shortcuts pointing to Office 365 and sign in using my work email address.
Just unsure if having office 2021 and office 365 could create some sort of conflicts in the system/registry.
Let me know what you think and if you have another option for me.
Thank you
