Please provide full details on the problem you are experiencing with the Microsoft 365 (Office) apps, is that a problem opening/using the apps or a subscription/account problem and are you using the apps on a Windows PC or Apple Mac, please also provide a screenshot of nay error you may be seeing.

I figured out my problem. When I upgraded from Personal 365 to Premium. I expected a credit for the unused portion of my Personal subscription. Instead MS extended my subscription. Gemni told me it would be a credit, and I had difficulty gathering information from MS. When I went to cancel the upgrade, I noticed the extended subscription date and figured out why there was no credit. Thank you

Yes, that is correct, then you switch to a new subscription with ore features, you are charged for a new full subscription and the remaining time is converted on a pro-rata percentage basis (in your case 60%) and added to the new subscription, they provide that information on this link.

For a personal Microsoft 365 installation, redemption, or activation issue, request a telephone callback through Contact Microsoft Support → Get Help → Contact Support; Microsoft does not provide a universal direct technical-support number for every consumer issue.

Personal or Family subscription

Since the chat agent is not responding:

Open Contact Microsoft customer support ^1^.
Select the Personal account tab.
Under Microsoft technical support, select Get help.
Sign in with the Microsoft account associated with the subscription or product key.
Enter a precise description, such as:
- Microsoft 365 activation failed
- Cannot redeem Microsoft 365 product key
- Office installation failed
Select Get Help, then Contact Support if self-help does not resolve it.
Choose phone callback if that option is offered, and provide your telephone number.

Available contact methods depend on the product, issue, region, and current availability; a callback might not be offered in every case. Microsoft’s published regional telephone numbers under Microsoft sales support are intended for purchasing or pre-sales questions—not general Office installation, redemption, or activation support.^1^

Business subscription

If this is a work or school Microsoft 365 subscription, a Microsoft 365 administrator should:

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Select Help & support at the lower-right.
Enter the activation, redemption, or installation problem.
Select Contact Support.
Choose Phone if available, confirm the contact details, and select Contact me. The support pane displays the expected wait time.^2^

If you are not an administrator, contact the organization’s Microsoft 365 administrator; that account is required to open the business support request.

Do not post the product key, account email, payment details, or callback number in this public forum.
