Install MS Office 2016 and uninstall MS Office 2010

Hi Abdul,

You'll need to do some testing, using the links I provided you will find the pages containing the necessary information.

To give you some help, the config.xml file I used for my Office 2016 deployment is as follows:

<Configuration>
 <Add SourcePath="C:\Office16" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" > 
      <Language ID="en-us" />        
    </Product>
 </Add>
 <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
 <Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="1" />
 <Property Name="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE" />
</Configuration>

I had to include the 'SharedComputerLicensing' option as Office was deployed in an RDS environment.

I included the 'PinIconsToTaskbar' option as I didn't want the icons on all users taskbars.

Then, with the Office Deployment Toolkit in the folder C:\office16, I ran the following from an administrative command prompt.

cd c:\office16
setup.exe /download configuration.xml

This downloads the installation files to the computer.  Then I ran:

cd c:\office16
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

This installed Office 2016 using the files I'd just downloaded.

I would suggest that you perform the 'setup.exe /download etc' option on a Server, then run the 'setup.exe /configure etc' on your Clients, pointing at the location the Office Deployment Tool and installation files were downloaded to.  This will limit the load on your WAN connection.
