Downloading Office 365 Pro Plus Version 2016
Before you check if Office 2016 is available to you, I would recommend switching to your organization account first. If you use a personal account such as Outlook.com, or Hotmail account with Office 365 Pro Plus 2013, you might not see the latest updates. For example, I am currently only seeing incremental updates for version 2013 only.
In any of your Office application, click your account, located in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and then click Switch account.
Click the other account if listed, enter your credentials if prompted. If another account does not appear for you to sign into, click Add Account, then sign in with your credentials.
Click File > Accounts > Check for Updates or click Update now, if a banner appears in your Office 365 application. I also recommend if you are running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, disable Defer Updates, if you currently have it enabled, since this can also block Office 365 updates, I noticed. Click Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced Options, and then uncheck Defer upgrades, if it is enabled.
Install Office 365 2016 Manually
If you are still not getting the latest version, then try installing manually. Go to the Sign into Office 365 page, then sign in with your Office 365 account, and then click Other installs.
Scroll down to Install Office 365 ProPlus with the new 2016 apps, and then click Install. If you wish to install a different architecture, click Advanced button then choose the one you want.
You should now have Office 365 up and running.
