Deploy Office 365 and uninstall stand-alone office at once?
Does anyone have a process to push Office 365 while removing older versions of stand-alone office (2016 or 2019) as part of that process? The deploy packages for Office 365 can have a remove option ...

What error(s) are you getting when you try the built in "remove other versions" feature? We actually disabled that setting because it was too aggressive and we were getting too many angry calls lol. Our common error we would get when deploying m365 office apps are that it can't install because office app(s) are open, once we close out of all office apps deployment usually works.
An update could not be installed because Office applications are open. (0x0000426E)
