Microsoft - 365 Business Standard (1 Person) (12-Month Subscription) - Activation Required - Windows, Mac OS, Chrome, Apple iOS, Android [Digital]

Terrible experience. 1 - had to buy a laptop - asked if the laptop came with any software "perks" I was told that they did not think so (well it did - I could've gotten Personal for $99.99/year that included PPT instead of buying business. 2 - I had to have powerpoint so I was stuck purchasing this instore 3 - I've tried to activate it and it doesn't work, states that my product key is invalid. This should really be plug and play at this point. 4 - I'm so frustrated and annoyed with all of this and don't even know who I should call for help, It's not returnable so apparently, I'm just screwed out of money since the product key won't work and it's not the software package I want anyway.

After debating about staying with Home / Student version, I switched. There is many extras on 365 - but I reaally didn't need them. The One drive and cloud based is ok. However, I had immediate problems with running anything off my desktop, Files wouldn't open. Could not save. All permission issues that I'm battling for the 2nd time now. Microsoft support was good in the sense of wanting to solve, but wanted to blame it on apple. Apple support blamed 3rd party. After many days and too many hours on the phone, we decided to wipe the computer and back up to pre Sonoma OS. It actually worked!! Just recently after never wanting to update the OS - somehow maybe something slipped thru and it started again. I spent 3.5 hours 1 night on the phone with MS support. Anothert hour the next day with Apple. ITs been a week now and cannot do anything other than view or edit strictly on the 1 drive, I cannot email any files. Hopiing to get to the apple store tomorrow to se if a genius can come up with anything other than wiping and restoring.

This is an honest review. When I attempted to download the key code from the Business Standard card to my laptop a message indicated that a different email than my was connected to the product. I had to do a return and get help from the Geek techs. However, they were very professional and very helpful. I do enjoy using Business Stand for my for business.

I had the software and it worked fine Renewal came up and it was horrible. Can't talk to a human unless you stalk Bill Gates. AI hung up on me. Then recognized my ph and wouldn't talk to me. Microsoft service is non existant. I went to the local BB store. A young man with far better skills than I managed to fix the problem, and it gave him a run for the money.

I am a longtime Microsoft User and the applications are a must have for reports, presentations, and spreadsheets.
