That blue screen tells you nicely that the retail version can't be converted to volume version. Which means you need to get the volume version or convert the existing one with some other tool or different office iso. Activating Office can be tricky. You can use this tool Office Tool Plus but you need more tool for activating. It is not simple as it seems to be.
 
Well Geez folks, guess what, I just did an install of this version on Windows 10.
I had already done an install on Win 11 but wanted to reply to this from a fresh experience.
#1 Uninstall Microsoft Office trial on your system, use Revo if you can.

#2 Turn off your A/V. Windows security as well as others is not crack friendly. If it makes you feel better use virus total before the install.
#3 READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and follow them exactly, no deviations. Open the task manager and make sure all office processes have been turned off.
#4 After you follow the instructions try running Excel or something other than Word first. Not sure why, but who cares?
#5 That's all folks........
 
Doesn't work for me either. When running "KMS_VL_ALL_AIO" as admin it never promts for the "1" for some reason.. hmm?
 
I was able to install everything, but no Office icons appeared on the desktop AND I could not get the KMS*.cmd file to run. For the life of me, after disabling all the av's, and editing launching unsafe files option in Control Panel, it still came up "unwanted software". I could not get past it. Ideas?
 
If a rule is written in antivirus software even if you turn off antivirus software it still blocks the application. You have other tools I love this one. I haven't got Office icons on my desktop in a long time. They are in the Start Menu. All of them.

On a 2nd attempt I managed to get this to work.

Main difference between my 1st & 2nd was I unmounted the iso & turned A/V off when using the Activator.

Though I'm guessing since I had tried before, option 1 was green but I still pressed it & the next screen instead of being blue stayed black & went through the motions, saying 180 days until renewal.

Biggest thing I didn't like about this Office was not being to install only word & excel.

You can install Word and Excel if you use right tool. ;):cool:2022-09-20 14_00_14-Window.png
