    This was an okay value when purchased with the machine, but I would have preferred a multiple year option instead of having to renew annually at a higher price.

    Installation instructions confusing. Do not like that renewal is automatic with no idea what cost will be. For one pc, not a very good value.

    I hate the linking of Windows login and 365. It's annoying and sends messages all the time that there was a problem with the sync.

    It's a good product, obviously. Everyone knows Word and Office in general. However, I do not like paying subscription fees for something that used to be a one-time purchase.

    I bought this software because I was offered a deal. However, I haven't used it because I run everything through Google now. I won't renew it.

    I think this is expensive for what it is. I do not use all of the components of MSO 360. I would rather have been able to purchase the programs I actually use.

      Hi Julie,

      We're so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with your Best Buy purchases. One great thing about Office 365 Personal is that you can extend your subscription up to 3 years. So you can add the additional copies to your account when you redeem it.

      Best,

    Not wild about MS Subscriptions

    Not happy MS has gone the subscription route for Office, but when you need to for work, you have to pay the price. Office 2016 is a big step up from 2007 though.

    Very Poor

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Office 365 Personal, 1-year subscription, 1 PC/Mac (Product Key Card) - Android|Mac|Windows|iOS was bought in store and left overnight (actually, for several days) with the Geek Squad for an additional fee of charge to install and put on the computer- so it would be ready for me for school and work. I've had the computer now several months and it STILL is not allowing Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. (Office Systems) to function on my Laptop. For something that I paid extra to have, and have installed by the people who sold me the product itself, it's very disheartening to not be able to use very important, everyday/daily used programs. I've had to since go through corporate and then they sent me to another 3rd party vendor to try and retrieve this product key that I was never given back, told about, or had installed correctly so that it would be already in the computer system (not needing me to FIND it and type it in).

    I want nothing to do with Office, Microsoft or Bill Gates. Was a teacher who taught Office for 18 years. Too much spying. No Windows 10 either. Going to use Apples Pages instead.
