    Solid standard option

    Microsoft Office Home 2024 is a solid, one-time purchase option for users who don’t want a subscription. The download and activation process was straightforward, and it installed smoothly on my device. It includes the essential apps—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote—which cover most everyday home and student needs. Performance is fast and stable, with a clean, familiar interface. The apps open quickly, and everything runs reliably without lag. Excel and Word, in particular, feel polished and powerful for both basic and more advanced tasks. It’s also nice to have full compatibility with files created by Microsoft 365 users. That said, this version does not include cloud storage, ongoing feature updates, or access on multiple devices, which may be a drawback for users who need those extras. If you’re looking for a simple, no-subscription Office suite for one computer, this is a good choice. Overall, it delivers exactly what it promises and is best suited for users who prefer a one-time payment over a monthly plan.

    If you're looking for the standard, no-surprises, powerful office suite, this is it. It's Microsoft Office. It works perfectly and has all the programs you'll need to get work done. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a trusted classic without a subscription.

    No subscription to Microsoft 365!

    I bought this because I did not want to pay a subscription to Microsoft 365. I only use Word and Excel because I grew up using them. I bought a new MacBook Pro and did not want to learn the MacOS version--Pages and Numbers. It was easy to install but note that you have to link the product to your Microsoft account which will require you to log into when installing. This way they can verify that the product is linked to only 1 device. This product will probably last me at least 10 years so the cost comes out to about $10 per year vs a Microsoft 365 subscription of $70 per year. When it comes time to upgrade I will just buy the current version of this software.

    This version of MSFT Office works well. It opens and modifies excel documents that are 10 years old. It was easy to install and I am still using it.

    So glad Microsoft still offers a standalone version of Office! It's a one-time purchase that lasts basically forever. There's no telling when Microsoft will decide to stop offering this standalone version, but I hope it's never. You can reuse this on as many devices as you wish, as long as you deactivate it on the old device before activating it on the new device.

    Obviously Microsoft Office is essential for anyone with a PC that's using it for school, work, or personal reasons. The idea that you have to buy a subscription is absurd, but luckily Best Buy offers a one time purchase of the program. It's easy to buy, easy to install, and easy to use.

    Decent value for the money. I went with the one time purchase rather than the 12 m subscription. Digital code gets sent to your email for activation. Pretty straightforward. Wish they would allow at least two devices.

    Haven't had a new computer for 11 or 12 years. A bit of a learning curve but love my Mac computers and Apple products in general. This computer is so much faster and lighter and has a lot more storage - very happy with my purchase!

    This is the best option if you need Microsoft Office 2024. You obtain a Microsoft license without the need to subscribe to Microsoft 365, which entails ongoing monthly payments. By opting for this option, you can acquire the necessary products with a single, one-time payment. The license can be transferred to another computer in the future. The software can be easily downloaded from the Microsoft website, and the serial number can be entered to activate the product. Additionally, this Mac Book License provides access to all updates directly from Microsoft.
