HOWTO uninstall Office 2016 – Error code 30180-4

I purchased a new Surface Pro 4 for our business and it comes with pre-installed MS Office 2016. I need to un-install the program because it is setup for 32 bit, so I can install my Office 365 lastest version of Office 2016 using 64 bits.

Purchasing a new Surface or Laptop comes with pre-installed for English, Spain and France of Office 2016 using 32 bits. I was able to un-installed the english version without any issue, but failed to un-install for es and fr version.

The error code 30180-4 doesn’t make any sense, it is about making sure that you have an internet connection :).
