    Hello

    What do you mean by sync across devices? Do you need to install all of the apps on the devices?

    If you have a subscription, you can install the apps on up to 5 devices at the same time.

    Please go to https://www.office.com

    Sign into the Microsoft account you used for the subscription. Click on Apps on the left.

    Then on the upper right, click on "Install apps". This will now download the installer file. Once downloaded, click on the file to install. It will install the Desktop version of the apps for you then.

    ====================

    Or are you referring to syncing data? If so, you need to make sure you have OneDrive desktop app running.

    To do so, go to your Start menu and see if you already have the OneDrive app installed. If so, go ahead and run it, sign in. If you don't have it installed, you will need to download it, install it back and then set it up. You can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/onedrive/download

    To sync Microsoft 365 across all your devices, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Your Subscription: First, verify that your Microsoft 365 subscription is active and valid by signing into your Office 365 or Microsoft 365 admin portal.
    2. Device Compatibility: Ensure that all your devices are compatible with Microsoft 365. You can refer to the mobile devices service description for compatibility details.
    3. Sign In to Microsoft Edge: If you're using Microsoft Edge, make sure to sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. This will enable syncing of your settings and data across devices.
    4. Enable Sync: Go to the settings in Microsoft Edge, navigate to Profiles > Sync, and ensure that sync is enabled. You can select which data you want to sync, such as bookmarks and passwords.
    5. Update Microsoft Edge: Make sure you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge that supports all sync features (at least version 98.0.1108.43).
    6. Perform a Resync: If you encounter any issues, you can perform a resync by going to Settings > Profiles > Sync > Re-sync data to this device.
    7. Check Sync Status: To verify that sync is working, visit edge://sync-internals/ to check the sync status and see which devices are syncing.

    If you run into specific error messages, consider troubleshooting those based on the error codes or messages you receive.
