Microsoft 365 new PC setup business
Signing into Office is only part of a staff migration. The employee also needs their expected mailboxes, local data, shared files, signatures, printers and business applications.
1. Confirm the correct account
Avoid creating a second personal Microsoft account accidentally when the business uses an organisational account.
2. Check mailbox access online first
This confirms the account and password before troubleshooting the desktop apps.
3. Identify local Outlook data
Archives or PST files may not exist in the cloud and need separate migration.
4. Reconnect shared resources
Shared mailboxes, calendars, OneDrive/SharePoint files and network shares may need explicit setup.
5. Test real work
Send and receive email, open attachments, print, access shared files and launch the applications the employee relies on.
