Very poor setup and links between functions (word, etc.), does not work internally as smooth as earlier Office versions. Would not recommend, very poor compared to other apps

I have used Microsoft products for over 20 years, and have never had so much trouble with a program. I attempted to install the program and it ran into an error. The Geek Squad got the program to install, and I downloaded my email into Outlook. The next time I turned the computer on the Office 365 needed to be installed again, but would not install

Be aware. I bought an office 365 in USA and it s not working in Brazil. I contact Microsoft and they said that to use in Brazil I must pay a fee that is more than 50% of the price of a new office in Brazil.

Hi Sergio,
Sorry to hear the frustration situation you're dealing with. For future reference, know that whatever country you purchase Office in, you must install and activate Office in that same country before you use your software internationally. So if you purchased your software in the U.S., you'll need to install and activate it in the U.S. before using it in Brazil.
Feel free to reach out to our Customer Support Team again for further assistance. We apologize for any inconvience.
Sincerely, Jo Office Customer Care

Took 2 in store appointments and a follow up Geek Squad session to finally get MS Office 365 running. Took some of the excitement away from a new Christmas gift. Have to say Yes to recommend, as it's such a necessary add on.

When installing Office from the download site and entering the product code an error 'code invalid or card has not been activated' was received. Two calls to Best Buy support - first call said they activated the card; second call was no help either - still no Office on the laptop. Now I have to schlep the laptop and Office product card to a Best Buy store to see if they can remedy the situation. If not, the Office product AND new laptop that I purchased from Best Buy get returned. So since nothing is installed I cannot recommend nor not recommend the product. Not happy :-(

I entered the password and when I went back in to finish loading the application it asked for my password again and said it was invalid and that I would have to wait three days to get a new password reset

Office 365 is clearly a way for Microsoft to make $ - not a better product for consumers. It doesn't include pdf capability which is a common everyday format so the consumer has to purchase yet another product adding to the overall cost.

The software is fine, but the yearly cost is just way too much for what you get. Bought a new laptop last year and was unhappy to find that this is the direction that Microsoft has gone now.

On September 08, I bought an HP laptop in your store, to which I added a Microsoft Office software paying an extra USD 50. A short time ago I returned to my country, Chile, and tried to install my Office to start working on my Laptop, however, I did not succeed, since it tells me that my Office is blocked. I tried to solve the problem directly with Microsoft, their options were to pay again 50 dollars for a new license, travel to the USA to activate my product or contact with the place that the Office sold me to evaluate a possible solution...I still wait for a solution

I had to go through the activation 3 times before any of the programs loaded. I even got out my old Office Professional 2007 just in case. I have not opened all the applications yet so the jury is still out.

Confusing to get up and running. It took over a week to get past the sign-on numbers to get downloaded. It took a call to Microsoft to get it running and I think I paid for it ,Twice.

Purchased this subscription with my new HP laptop. When I tried to install I received a message from Microsoft saying that the key code was not active. I attempted installation multiple times with the same results each time. Finally contacted Geek Support, who informed me that they could not help unless I purchased Total Support. The representative I talked to offered to transfer me to someone who could help, but only after I purchased support. Basically, I totally wasted my money on a product that I cannot use - no returns for digital products!

You get an error message that’s gives you a phone number to call. The agent then insists you buy additional security to have your number unlocked. Finally had to go back to Best Buy to get it done.

Returned this due to the renewing subscription cost. If you require these on s regular basis then it's probably worth it, but there are other resources for the avg user, like google docs. Not worth the price to me.

Give me a supporrted product and software equivalent from purchase for three years and compatability with previous version(s). Alright with initial product, but conversion of old(er) docs to new is a concern.

This product used to be purchasable and should be still at a reasonable price for those of us who only need to use it less than 5 times a year. I hate having to pay an annual renewal!!!

Honestly I was under the impression that this was going to be free office and I was getting a deal, but it is limited to one year free :( then you have to buy it. I could have gotten that through my college.

Hi there,
Thanks for the review. We love hearing from long time users. We think you will find that Office 365 Personal has some great features like the 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and the ability to have it installed on multiple devices.
Have a great day,
Nelson Office Customer Care
