2. Change directory

```
cd %programfiles%
cd Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun
```

3\. Execute the following command to change to the desired channel

```
OfficeC2RClient.exe /changesetting Channel=Monthly
```

4\. Execute the following command to start the process of changing the channel and updating Office apps
