If you contact godaddy (like they are telling you) godaddy will remove the domain and you can almost immediately add it to a Microsoft tenant. I’ve done it multiple times and it take maybe 10-20 minutes on the phone.
Just be aware, when godaddy removes it, it will DELETE the tennant from godaddy, so make sure everything is migrated out of godaddy before making the switch.
As an additional note...everyone PLEASE stop getting Office 365 from godaddy, it only leads to messes in the future 🙂

I wish I'd seen your advice about 365 and GoDaddy before I purchased it. I'd also like to follow the advice that others have posted on here but it is far too technical for me. Here's where I am:
I'm just a regular guy with a small business that has a domain hosted by GoDaddy. I liked the look and functionality of MS Office 365 so set about buying it. During the purchase process, I was given NO CHOICE but to purchase through GoDaddy (presumably because my email address is linked to the domain name). At no point in that process did GoDaddy or Microsoft indicate that - despite me paying full price for 365 - I wouldn't get all the functionality.
So, fast forward to now, I have invested in a CRM because it is an add-in for Outlook 365 but, because my purchase of 365 was through GoDaddy, I can't get the add-in!!!!
I feel I have purchased 365 under false pretences - as I can't use it fully - and I also can't get the full functionality of my new CRM!!! What kind of scam is this? Why does Microsoft allow this?
Does anyone out there have any advice as to how I could move away from GoDaddy (that defederating article/advice got way too complicated for me very quickly) to a domain host who will allow me to use the full range of 365 functionality - or at least use the add-ins that MS have sanctioned?
