Introduction
If you have been concerned about transferring your applications to a new computer, you need not be concerned anymore. We understand the difficulties of moving data to a new computer and have devised a solution for you. However, even while switching computers may be an enjoyable experience, it can be time-consuming if not done properly.
Even though we understand how to move documents, music, movies, and photographs, transferring apps continues to be a mystery. One of the most significant apps on the Windows operating system, Microsoft Office stores a great deal of information. This guide will teach you how to move Office 2016 to a new Windows 11 computer with a product key.
Guide 1: Find Office 2016 Product Key First
Before you try and move your MS Office to another system, you should try to find the product key of your MS Office so that you don't have to worry about it later. Here are a few tips and tricks that can help you re-discover your MS Office product key:
1. Back Up the Windows Account and Password
Make certain that you are logged in as your administrator account. The Standard account cannot be used to establish an admin account while the Standard account is in use.
Step 1: Navigate to the Start Menu and choose Settings.
Step 2: The configuration page will be shown. Accounts may be found by going to the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Select Family and other users from the Accounts drop-down menu.
Step 4: To add another user to this computer, choose to Add Someone Else to this PC. A new window will appear.
Step 5: To set up a local admin account, go to the bottom of the window and choose I Don't Have This Person's Sign-in Information from the menu.
Step 6: Next, choose to Add a user without a Microsoft account at the bottom of the next screen.
Step 7: Now, provide the name and password for the secondary account, and it will be created automatically.
Step 8: The account that has been established is a regular account in the system. Please return to the Family and other users tab and choose the option to make it an administrator account.
Step 9: Click on the name of your new account and then on the Change Account Type option to convert it into an administrator account for your organization.
2. Contact the Office Support Team to Find the Product Key
Your Office 365 or previous version's product key may be found on the machine. If you've exhausted all other options, this is your best bet. It's to get in touch with Microsoft's help desk.
Step 1: Access Microsoft 365 using your Microsoft 365 administrator account.
Step 2: Select Support > Create a new service request from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: If you're in the admin center, go to Support > New service request and fill out the form.
3. Use EaseUS Key Finder
You may easily use the Windows Credential function in EaseUS Key Finder and use this tool to scan for and locate your Windows account that was used to activate your Microsoft Office 2016 product key right away.
Step 1. Click "Application" tab under "Registry Key".
