I have a Microsoft 365 Personal annual subscription that renewed on May 12, 2026. I am within the 30-day refund window and would like to cancel and receive a full refund. I am upgrading to Microsoft 365 Business Standard."

    Please go to https://account.live.com

    Sign into your Microsoft account. Then go to Services. Click on Manage for the subscription plan you want to cancel.

    For refund, go to https://support.microsoft.com/contactus, Type "Billing" and press Enter. On the next screen, click "Contact support" at the bottom of the page, then choose "Microsoft 365" > "Manage my subscription". You’ll then see the option to chat with a Microsoft support agent who has access to your account to help review the issue.

    To cancel the Microsoft 365 Personal annual subscription and check eligibility for a full refund within the 30‑day window, follow these steps:

    1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/microsoft365 and sign in with the same Microsoft account that was used to purchase the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.
    2. Under Services & subscriptions, locate the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription and select Manage.
      • If Turn on recurring billing is shown instead of Manage, the subscription is already set to expire on the listed date and will not renew; no further action is required for future charges.
    3. On the subscription details page, select Cancel (it might appear as Upgrade or Cancel or Cancel subscription).
    4. Scroll through and follow the on‑screen instructions to complete cancellation.
      • During this flow, refund eligibility is evaluated. Not all cancellations result in a refund, but if the subscription and region qualify (for example, within the applicable refund period), the refund option is presented.
    5. If located in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, Korea, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, or Turkey, there may be entitlement to a prorated refund depending on subscription length and renewal status. See the guidance in Countries with prorated refunds for Microsoft subscriptions from the referenced articles.

    After cancellation and any applicable refund processing, proceed with purchasing Microsoft 365 Business Standard separately (for example, via the Microsoft 365 for business purchase flow or through an admin center if managing a business tenant). The Personal subscription cancellation does not affect the ability to buy and use Business Standard.

    If any issues occur during cancellation or refund, use Contact Microsoft Support from the support article pages or the account portal to get direct assistance.
