Microsoft Outlook: program installation
Microsoft Outlook is one of the most popular email applications. She can be called a real information manager. Its popularity is due in no small part to the fact that it is Microsoft's recommended email application for Windows. But, at the same time, this program is not preinstalled in this operating system. You need to buy it, and carry out the installation procedure in the OS. Let's find out how to install Microsoft Outlook on a computer.
Microsoft Outlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite and does not have its own installer. Therefore, this application is purchased together with other programs included in a specific edition of the office suite. You can choose to buy a disc, or download the installation file from the official Microsoft website, after paying the specified amount of money, using the electronic form of payment.
Start installation
The installation procedure begins with the launch of the installation file, or disc with the Microsoft Office package. But, before that, it is imperative to close all other applications, especially if they are also included in the Microsoft Office package, but were installed earlier, otherwise there is a high probability of conflicts or errors in the installation.
After launching the Microsoft Office installation file, a window opens in which you need to select Microsoft Outlook from the list of presented programs. Make a choice, and click on the "Continue" button.
After that, a window with a license agreement opens, which should be read and accepted. To accept, put a tick next to the inscription "I accept the terms of this agreement." Then, click on the "Continue" button.
Next, a window opens in which you are prompted to install Microsoft Outlook. If the user is satisfied with the standard settings, or he has a superficial knowledge of changing the configuration of this application, then click on the "Install" button.
Setting up the installation
If the user is not satisfied with the standard configuration, then he should click on the "Settings" button.
In the first tab of the settings, called "Installation parameters", it is possible to select various components that will be installed with the program: forms, add-ons, development tools, languages, etc. If the user does not understand these settings, then it is best to leave all the parameters default.
In the File Locations tab, the user specifies in which folder Microsoft Outlook will be located after installation. This parameter should not be changed unless absolutely necessary.
In the "User Information" tab, the user name is indicated, and some other data. Here, the user can make their own adjustments. The name he enters will be displayed when viewing information about who created or edited a particular document. By default, data in this form is pulled from the user account of the operating system in which the user is currently located. But, this data for the Microsoft Outlook program can, if desired, be changed.
Continue installation
After all the settings are completed, click on the "Install" button.
The process of installing Microsoft Outlook begins, which, depending on the power of the computer and the operating system, may take a long time.
After the installation process is over, a corresponding message will appear in the installation window. Click on the "Close" button.
The installer closes. The user can now launch Microsoft Outlook and use its capabilities.
As you can see, the process of installing Microsoft Outlook is, in general, intuitive, and is available even to a complete beginner, if the user does not start changing the default settings. In this case, you need to already have some knowledge and experience with computer programs.
