If I have an older version of Microsoft Office on my computer, can I still download and install Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise?

Depending on the version you are running, it is possible that it will allow you to install another version although it is not recommended. The newest version, Office 2019 for Windows, will walk you through the uninstallation process of any previous versions.

We suggest not uninstalling your previous version of Office unless you have your product key available to reinstall it at a later date.
