This guide will walk you through the process of installing various versions of Microsoft Office (7, 8, 10, 13, and 16) from a USB drive.

Why Use a USB Drive for Installation?

Using a USB drive to install software is increasingly common for several reasons:

1. No CD/DVD Drive: Many modern computers no longer come with optical drives.
2. Convenience: USB drives are portable and can hold multiple installation files.
3. Speed: USB drives can offer faster data transfer speeds compared to CDs or DVDs.

Preparing Your USB Drive

1. Choose the Right USB Drive: Ensure your USB drive has enough storage capacity for the Office installation files. Depending on the version, this could be anywhere from 1GB to 2GB.

2. Format the USB Drive:

   • Windows: Connect your USB drive, open File Explorer, right-click on the USB drive, and select "Format." Choose FAT32 or NTFS as the file system, depending on the size of the files and compatibility.
   • Mac: Connect the USB drive, open Disk Utility, select the drive, and click "Erase." Choose "MS-DOS (FAT)" or "ExFAT" as the format.

3. Copy the Installation Files:

   • Insert your Office installation disc into your computer or download the installation files from a legitimate source.
   • Copy the entire contents of the disc or downloaded folder to the USB drive.
