You are the Microsoft 365 administrator for a company. You deploy Windows 10 to all devices by using Windows Autopilot. You need to ensure that employees can install Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus on…

Users can self-install Office 365 ProPlus directly from the Office 365 portal (portal.office.com) using the self-install option, which allows them to download and install the Click-to-Run version of Office on their devices. This is a supported and common method for deploying Office apps to end users.

Office 365 ProPlus uses the Click-to-Run (C2R) installation technology, not the traditional Windows Installer (MSI) package, so downloading an MSI package is not a supported deployment method for Office 365 ProPlus.

Enabling auto-deployment of Office 365 apps allows administrators to configure Intune or the Microsoft 365 deployment settings so that Office 365 apps are automatically deployed to all enrolled devices. This ensures Office is installed without requiring user intervention, making it ideal for Autopilot-provisioned devices.

Windows Autopilot deployment profiles configure the out-of-box experience (OOBE) and device enrollment settings, but they do not directly include options to specify Office 365 app deployment; app deployment is handled separately through Intune app assignment policies.
