2. I already have a Personal/Family Microsoft 365 subscription - do I need to change anything?
Yes, we recommend switching to a Microsoft 365 Business plan to get the full benefits of a professional email system and better security.
While a Personal/Family plan gives you access to Office apps, it does not include a business-grade email system, Microsoft Exchange, or full Teams integration. With a Business plan, you will have:
✔️ A professional email account (instead of a personal Outlook.com or Gmail account).
✔️ Single sign-on access – No need for multiple logins across different services.
✔️ Better security and compliance – Protection against cyber threats and data loss.
✔️ Seamless integration with your firm’s Microsoft 365 environment – Making document sharing and collaboration easier.
If you already have a Personal/Family subscription, you may cancel it once your Business plan is active, as your new plan will cover all essential apps and services under one account.

3. Will my email address stay the same? Will all my emails be kept?
✔️ Yes, your email address will stay the same – there’s no need to change your current email.
✔️ Yes, all your emails, contacts, and calendar events will be migrated – so you won’t lose any important information.
The migration process is designed to be smooth and minimise disruptions. Once your account is moved to Microsoft 365, you’ll continue using Outlook, but with improved security, storage, and access to collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams.
