• To start the update, click on Install Updates. This will start downloading the latest updates, and will get installed into your system.
• After the updates are downloaded and installed, you must restart your system in order to effect the newly installed updates. You may either click Close to finish the update, or click Restart Now to complete the update. As soon as the system is rebooted, Microsoft Office will be installed with new updates.
