Windows : Double-click the setup file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Mac : Double-click the setup file , confirm the installation if necessary, drag the PowerPoint application icon to the “Applications” folder, and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you have problems downloading and installing on your Windows computer, stop the print soper service. This can be useful because Office often crashes around 80-90% due to conflicts with the print soper service on the computer. To proceed, click on the Start menu and enter “services.msc” into the search box. Then click “Print Spoper” to open and select Stop . ^{[2] X Trusted Source Microsoft Support Go to Source}
