Hi,
on many of my Client machines runs at the time MS Office 2019 Pro. I want to upgrade or migrate to MS Office 2024. I did try to run manually and truth SCCM to upgrade.
But it display, I have to uninstall first MS Office 2019 Pro. I dont want to uninstall the MS Office 2019 first, it is because of the settings. Or I am sure I have to configure the Outlook again with Exchange Server.
Is there anyway to do that manually or with SCCM Deployment without first uninstalling office 2019? It means, it should upgrade to MS Office 2024.
best regards
Nick
It's possible, under certain conditions, but never advisable.

Your Office settings and options should be incorporated into the new Office. But it's not guaranteed. All I can suggest is to do a full backup, give it a try, and be ready to restore if it doesn't work.
Hi,
Sorry, the Link you send me, is if I have installed the Office with MSI. My MS Office 2019 is installed with script by SCCM.
all the options on that link is not related to my environment.
Again:
I have 100 client machines with MS Office 2019 Pro and I want to deploy or install MS Office 2024, it means, it should upgrade from Office 2019 to Office 2024
Thanks
I am sorry, but I only have limited experience with SCCM. You probably should talk with Microsoft Support.

Hi SSE@TUTUE,
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. Based on your current setup, please note that Office 2019 and Office 2024 are standalone versions and do not support direct in-place upgrades. As a result, the existing Office 2019 installation must be removed before deploying the newer version. This is a standard requirement to avoid conflicts between versions and ensure a stable installation. To proceed smoothly, we recommend the following steps:
-Uninstall Office 2019 Safely
Before uninstalling, please back up any important Outlook configurations or data files (.pst/.ost). You may use the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) tool for a clean removal while preserving user settings.
-Deploy Office 2024 Using Office Deployment Tool (ODT)
You can create a custom configuration file to automate the removal of Office 2019 and install Office 2024. This method is compatible with SCCM or Intune for enterprise deployment.
-Consider Microsoft 365 Apps
If you prefer a seamless upgrade experience and regular feature updates, you may consider switching to Microsoft 365 Apps, which supports direct upgrades and centralized management.

-If you are a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator, you may submit a service request for advanced technical assistance via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
-If your licenses are managed through a reseller or partner, please contact their support team for help coordinating the upgrade.
