I upgraded my 2011 G560 laptop running Office XP to a 2023 G14 and required a current Office Suite. Primarily needed a word processor and spreadsheet for daily use, with the occasional PowerPoint option. First tried the freeware LibeOffice suite, although it was adequate for reading my existing MS .doc's and smaller MS .xls spreadsheets, it could not handle my larger spreadsheets with multiple worksheets that have complex formulas and extensive formatting. It would fail with "not responding" errors when trying to save those spreadsheets.
That left me with two options, the subscription-based MS Office 365, or this one-time purchase MS Office 2021 Home & Student. Not a fan of subscription models with annual fees, so Office 2021 was my only choice.
After purchasing online, I received a MS Digital Download email with a web link and code to install on my new laptop. Installation was quick and setup was very easy. Reads, updates, and saves all of my existing MS Office files without issues. Still getting acclimated with the current program version layouts and their updated features. My only negative is the price, but for my use, it is still a more cost-effective solution vs. paying an annual subscription fee.

I’ve been using Microsoft Office 365 for over a year now, and I can’t imagine my work and personal life without it. If you’re considering a reliable and versatile productivity suite, I highly recommend Microsoft Office 365. Here’s why:
Comprehensive Toolset
Office 365 offers all the essential applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and more. Each app is packed with features that cater to a wide range of needs, from writing and data analysis to email management and creating stunning presentations.
Seamless Cloud Integration
The integration with OneDrive is fantastic. I can save my documents to the cloud and access them from any device, anywhere. The real-time collaboration feature is a game-changer, making it easy to work on projects with colleagues or friends without any hassle.
Regular Updates
Microsoft regularly updates Office 365, ensuring I always have access to the latest features and improvements. The updates are smooth and don’t disrupt my workflow, which I really appreciate.
User-Friendly Interface
The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to start using all the applications effectively. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned user, you’ll find the tools you need right at your fingertips.
Advanced Features
For those who need advanced functionality, Office 365 delivers. Excel’s powerful data analysis tools, Word’s comprehensive formatting options, and PowerPoint’s creative design features all help me produce professional-quality work with ease.
Mobile Accessibility
The mobile apps are a great addition, allowing me to work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on my phone or tablet. This flexibility is incredibly convenient, especially when I’m on the go.

Microsoft Office Home 2024 is a solid productivity suite for individuals and families, offering essential applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. It maintains the familiar, user-friendly interface while integrating AI-powered features for enhanced efficiency. Performance is smooth, with improved collaboration tools and cloud integration via OneDrive. However, it remains a one-time purchase with limited updates, unlike Microsoft 365’s subscription model, whic provides continuous feature enhancements.
✅ Pros:
One-time purchase (no subscription required)
Essential apps included
Improved AI-driven features
Reliable and efficient performance
❌ Cons:
Lacks continuous updates
No access to premium Microsoft 365 features
Limited cloud storage compared to Microsoft 365
Overall, Microsoft Office Home 2024 is great for users who prefer a traditional, standalone Office suite without ongoing subscription costs.

Make sure you have a working Microsoft account before purchasing/beginning would be my biggest recommendation. From there, I simply purchased, then followed the links within my Amazon account to install the download. Yes, initially, the software does not install on your computer. Instead, it downloads an installer. You must click the download to initiate the installation on your computer. Did that, agreed to all the T&C, opened up Excel, and yes, it gave me the message that I needed to buy Microsoft 365 before I could create or edit anything. I clicked on it, per advice from another reviewer, and it takes you to your Microsoft account sign-in, where there is an option that says "already purchased" - click that. Once you enter your email, you're up and running! Apple "Numbers" was KILLING me after being an Excel user my whole life. I couldn't stand it any longer (made the switch from PC to Mac about a year ago) and I know I will be way less frustrated since I know Excel like the back of my hand. Recommend!

I recently got a Microsoft Office license and it’s been a great investment. Installation was fast and easy, and all the apps work smoothly. I especially like how Word and Excel integrate with OneDrive, making it simple to access my files from anywhere. The license is reliable, affordable, and definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

Dell Is A Good & Stable Laptop Product

Very good choice for what we need. Nothing fancy, but a great replacement for a 15-yr-old Dell. On any new computer, when building it with SW & Anti-Virus, take care to avoid conflicts from data in the cloud taking it over before you can load certain software, like MS Office. It made a mess that had to be cleaned up so I could load new MS Office, because it was feeding off the cloud.

Love it! I bought one for my home office and my work office. I hated the Microsoft 365 subscription. I spend more time trying to get into it online and access what I need. Every time you try to open a document or email, you have to jump through all these loops in order to read it or work on it. Thanks to this downloadable product, no more worries. Work is easier and faster. Way better than spending money on a yearly subscription that doesn't work well.

Excellent in store service from Salesperson and Geek squad. NOTE: I have not purchased a computer since 2011. Only reason I purchased what I have now was - Computer Updates could not be performed on old computer. Salesperson was patient, explained features of each computer I questioned about, was thorough, friendly and professional. I was especially impressed with her knowledge regarding computer I purchased. salesperson was an employee with DELL and did not pressure sell on Dell computers at all! (I had never heard of brand computer I purchased. I am happy with it!)

This was awkward to install. I deleted my 2019 Office apps including Outlook. I entered the new key code, from the Best Buy receipt and MS Office software card purchased. I downloaded the 2024 Office package. Then Microsoft only showed my existing Office package from 2019. No update obvious in my account. There was not clear explanation from BBY or MSFT of what the install process would be. A day or two later, I received an email from Microsoft that said the order had been processed and so then I had to download the installer again, delete the 2019 package again, and install the Office applications again. It seems to work. FYI, I also deleted the old "Microsoft User Data" folder, but it comes back after opening an Office app again, which is fine.

We wanted all of the services of Microsoft's products without subscribing for renewal fees. This was the solution, but their products and own them. We are so happy that Microsoft made this an option. We use Outlook, Word and Excell almost daily. We know we made the right choice with this product. Additionally, the we were able to install it on both our laptop and PC for the same price.
