Hello Tom Neal,
I see that you need help with Microsoft 365 Installation and subscription. I truly understand how you feel. Let me assist you go through this situation.
You can install your existing Microsoft 365 subscription on your iPad easily. Since it’s already working on your HP computer, you just need to install the apps and sign in with the same Microsoft account. To install Microsoft 365 on an iPad (for home users):
Option 1: Install all‑in‑one Microsoft 365 app (recommended)
This single app includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.
- On your iPad, open the App Store.
- Search for Microsoft 365 (formerly “Office”).
- Tap Get to install.
- Open the app after installation.
- Tap Sign in.
- Sign in using the same Microsoft account you use on your HP computer.
Once signed in, your subscription activates automatically and premium features unlock. For more information: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-and-set-up-the-microsoft-365-copilot-app-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-9df6d10c-7281-4671-8666-6ca8e339b628
Option 2: Install individual apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
If you prefer separate apps:
- Open the App Store.
- Search for Microsoft Word (repeat for Excel and PowerPoint).
- Tap Get to install each app.
- Open any app.
- Tap Sign in.
- Sign in with the same Microsoft account tied to your Microsoft 365 subscription.
Your subscription will activate across all installed Office apps once you sign in.
Important notes for you:
- Installing the apps is free but editing on iPads larger than 10.1″ requires a Microsoft 365 subscription.
- Make sure you do not create a new account during sign‑in, use the exact one that already has the subscription.
- No extra purchase is needed if your subscription is active
