I purchased Microsoft 365 Personal on 30 Apr 2025 Order # 9575107644 for home use. It is now disabled. I did try and load Microsoft here at work not realizing I would be charged again. I called to cancel, which they did but they also cancelled my home Microsoft 365 Personal. Please advise.

    o365 Personal/Family and Business are compltely seperate & unconnected

    On the home PC did you uninstall the pre-installed o365 Family trial via win add/remove dialogue and then start Word?

    O365/Office when installed under a Win user admin account, and run from that admin account, auto logs in when the PC is started. There is no separate login for any component.

     

    Win search for Word > Resulting shortcut > Rt click > Pin to task bar > start Word from that shortcut (hover mouse over the shortcut gives access to the 10 most recent docs)

    Same for other core components.

    Start eg Word open an old doc via recents/search

    Rarely any need to access OneDrive itself.

    Hello, good day and thanks for your question. If you have requested for cancellation, this is the reason why you are being asked to purchase again specifically if you are using your personal Microsoft account. You may check and confirm this by logging in to https://account.microsoft.com/services and if the subscription is not there, you will need to purchase again if you intend to keep using it.
