Backup Your Computer

Visit the GitHub repository of developer abbodi1406 and download the latest version of the "Yet Another Office Click To Run URL Generator" (YAOCTRU) zip archive.

Before beginning, ensure you create a full backup of your computer to prevent data loss in case of any issues.

Use the script or URL list generated by YAOCTRU to download the Office 2024 preview files. Note that Windows 11 and Windows 10 (version 1803 and later) include curl, which you can use for this download.

Prepare for Installation

Download the latest version of the "Yet Another Office Click To Run Installer" (YAOCTRI) zip archive from abbodi1406's GitHub script repository.

Extract the YAOCTRI archive and move the Reference-C2R_Config.ini, YAOCTRI_Configurator.cmd, and YAOCTRI_Installer.cmd files to the folder where you downloaded the Office components.
