Is anyone who did a clean install having trouble reinstalling Office 365 2016?

I reinstalled office 2016 after a clean install but used a product code not the office 365 subscription. Working fine as far as I know. I didn't get asked for the product code until I actually ran an application, after the install was finished..

the media tool downloads 10586.0 then you use windows updates to get the updates to get to 10856.3

OK, I'm a bit confused now. You seem to be saying the media creation tool will onlydownload 10586.0, and then we'll have to get the other updates through Windows Update.

On the other hand I read Brink's statement as saying the ISO download IS the TH2 update.

Hello Laser, :)

It's for the new ISO released today.

See: Windows 10 ISO Download

Am I to infer, from your statement, that the Media Creation Tool does NOT download the version Brink linked to?

I was using the Media Creation Tool to download the iso and used it to do the installation.
The result is Th2 10586.3.

I think getting the ISO is the best way even with just one PC. More than one and it's a no-brainer.

The ISO file is for TH2 version 1511 build 10586. You could use it to upgrade or clean install directly to it instead of using Windows Update.

No. You can choose upgrading or create a media. You can download the iso, burn a DVD or create a usb media and then update your Windows.

I may eventually do the media creation thing but I cannot believe MS are making us jump through hoops. Why can't it just display via normal windows updates. Is it because itsd not been made available to Europe (i'm in London south east)

I updated my PCs via Windows Update and created a USB installation drive via the Media Creation Tool at 3pm this afternoon in Hampshire, UK so it has been available in the UK for at least 6 hours
