Hi,

I just purchased a new laptop and Ms office home. After installation, I noticed two icons/links under start menu for the same program (eg excel x 2, ppt x2, etc).

How to fix it and which is the one I installed? Thank you!

Most likely one could be the trial version (installed already) while the other is the version you have installed; or both identical.

Do right-click on each of the icon and click on properties.
From the shortcut tab do review the entries.

Can compare to see if there is any differences.

Right-click the icon to remove it from the start menu.

Meanwhile do check on your desktop for the icons may also be duplicate, if any.
