Hi there

We are trying to rollout Microsoft 365 _E3.

Do users currently using Office 2019 Click-to-Run with Office 365 E1 licenses need to uninstall the existing version before assigning Microsoft 365 E3 licenses, or can the new licenses be transferred without requiring uninstallation?

    Hi,

    it is generally recommended to uninstall the existing Office 2019 version before installing the new Microsoft 365 apps. This helps avoid potential conflicts and ensures a smooth installation process.

    You can download the Office support tool to help you uninstall Office form PC completely and then install new Office:
