Hi experts<br />
<br />
I need some help understanding my Microsoft Office 365 install.<br />
<br />
I have a PC laptop that I had previously installed MS Office 2013 onto. One of my client's is using Office 365 so I have bought a subscription to Office 365 and installed 365 that also onto my PC. <br />
<br />
But there is no Office 365 icon. For example with Word there is no Word 365 icon, only a Word 2013 icon. Are they the same thing? If I hadn't previously installed 2013 onto my machine, I would have ended up with 2013 anyway because of my 365 subscription?<br />
<br />
When I now go into Word and look at what version I'm using it says product Activated Microsoft Office Professional 2013 and then underneath it is Subscription product Microsoft Office 365.<br />
<br />
Confused?? Please help.

Help understanding Office 365 and what it installs

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers.

Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
