I have a PC with Office 2016 installed and am more than happy with it set up how it is. I have however had to add a new user profile to it for work activities but they are forcing me to use their copy of office 365. The problem is that Office 365 is detecting that Office 2016 is already installed and is refusing to install. Is there a way to completely separate the user accounts so they do not share programs etc? It want my personal profile to be completely separate from my work profile. I suspect the only way to do this is with separate copies of Windows on separate partitions on the hard drive.
 
You used to be able to have side by side Office installs, at least back during the 2003-2010 era.

I don't think you can now, because whether you have Office 2016, Office 365 or whatever the latest non-365 version is - it all gets installed in the "Office16" folder so they'd overwrite each other.
