Download Microsoft Office without logging to a Microsoft account

Solution 1:

I'm reinstalling a friend's PC, and now I have to install Microsoft Office 2016 Home & Student. My friend gave to me the card with the product key, the instructions say to go to https://www.office.com/setup however I can't download the installer without logging in a Microsoft Account.

If the product key is associated with your friend’s Microsoft Account then your friend will have to log into their account.

If the product key is unused you need to access your Microsoft Account, and associate the product key, with your Microsoft Account.

So how do I download the Microsoft Office installer?

You will be unable to download the correct edition of Office, that will accept the product key your friend has, without claiming the product key and associating the key with a Microsoft Account.

Once the key is claimed your friend can provide you a link to the product.
