How to Install Microsoft Office 2024 Preview

Alex White

Microsoft has announced the upcoming release of Microsoft Office 2024, continuing to support users who prefer a one-time purchase over subscription models. For those eager to get a first look, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to access and install the Microsoft Office 2024 preview.

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.

Download Tools

Extract the archive and run the YAOCTRU_Generator.cmd file. You do not need administrator rights for this step.

In the YAOCTRU tool, select the DevMain Channel for update, choose your preferred architecture (32-bit/64-bit), language, and the Office components you need.

Download Office 2024 Preview

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.

Install Office 2024 Preview

Right-click on the YAOCTRI_Configurator.cmd file and run it as an administrator. It will automatically detect the Office installation files.

In the product selection window, choose an Office 2024 option, such as Office ProPlus 2024, to cover most common Office applications.

Click "Install Now" to begin the installation process.

Verify Installation

Open any Office application, go to File => Account, and check for the Office 2024 branding to confirm the installation.

Revert to Previous Office Version (Optional)

If you wish to return to a previous retail or volume license version of Office, use the Office Scrubber project by the same developer.

Download the latest version of the Office Scrubber script, run it, reboot your computer, and then install a stable version of Microsoft Office for your desired channel.

Remember, the DevMain update channel is semi-public and intended for Microsoft employees' testing. It's not recommended for use as your daily driver due to potential stability issues. Always have a recovery plan by maintaining regular backups of your data.
