That update is particularly hard to find - you have to dig several windows deep into the control panel in desktop mode ... it's one of those inexplicable things that just dumbfounds me - they leave a pre-release version of Office on the tablets and then almost guarantee nobody will install the proper version by making the update UI impossible to find.

seriously? you can just type windows update (search will open for you) then select it to install - i don't know how it's too complicated. Especially since most people use windows already.

No, typing Windows Update gets you to the updates for the tablet, which do not include Office. To update Office you go through the control panel see -

Perhaps it has changed, but this is how it was 3 weeks ago when I updated the tablet I had.

This is what I experienced as well.

I've updated it now - it's still a dog, even compared to my 5 year old ThinkPad...
