Hi Guang,

Followed instructions on Windows 10 Microsoft Surface and got the below:

What should I do? Thanks!

GuangP

legendmythpro
Sorry. Your version is not supported.

GuangP

But I used your installer office deployment tool to install Office 2016 after uninstalling previous office. Is there a way to remove my version completely and use yours?

If I clean install windows 10, then use your installer+method would it work? I suspect there's some memory of another office version from my previous fidgeting.

Thanks!

GuangP

legendmythpro You can follow instructions here to uninstall your old Office completely. Reinstalling the OS is not necessary.
