End User Experience of Office 365 Pro Plus on Windows 10 1703 (RS2)
As you can see in the video tutorial, the installation of Office 365 pro plus application is user friendly. As per my experience, it was a silent install on my Windows 10 1703 device. However, I couldn’t find the Office 365 Pro Plus application listed in company portal app even though I selected option “Display this app in the company portal”. After the restart of the machine, the apps Excel and Word were already installed on the machine without any user interaction. The installation of apps will take time depending on your internet speed.
