I deleted a version of 365 and installed a trial version. Now I am unable to install the 365 personal application. Outlook will not work in neither application. I need to speak with someone in technical support. What id the combination for this request?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    Use this support path to reach a live Microsoft support agent for Microsoft 365 and Outlook installation/activation issues:

    1. Go to Contact Microsoft Support.
    2. In the search box, enter Contact support.
    3. Select Get Help, then choose Contact Support.
    4. Under Products & Services, choose Microsoft 365 and Office.
    5. Under Category, choose Activate my product.
    6. Select Confirm.
    7. Choose Chat with a support representative or Request a call back.

    For the install problem itself, the supported cleanup path is:

    1. Run the uninstall troubleshooter to remove the existing Microsoft 365/Office installation.
    2. Restart the PC when prompted.
    3. Reinstall Microsoft 365 from the account that owns the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.

    Relevant install notes:

    • A PC can have a preinstalled new Outlook for Windows app that is separate from the Microsoft 365 desktop apps.
    • If another Office installation is still present, uninstalling it first is the recommended step before reinstalling.
    • The uninstall troubleshooter requires Windows 10 or higher and currently can’t uninstall Office 2024.
