Yes, you could buy the software; but it is expensive, and has a limited life. Consider the gain/loss of $10/month for a device that will be effective for three years- vs $300-$500 for a software license (you still do not own it) that may not be upgradable. And, if the device gets damage/broken/lost, you may not be able to transfer the license to your new device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Microsoft 365, by definition, is a subscription service, but you can also buy the MS Office Suite as a separate item. If you don't need the newest version (2024), which can be used on more than one computer at a time, and IS expensive, you can buy the prior version (2021), which I have seen for under $50. This one will only be for one computer at a time. Alternatives: (1) You have LIMITED, free use of Word, Excel and PowerPoint via the browser, one component at a time; (2) You can download and use the free suite, Kingsoft.
