    I usually only use office for basic functions, but it's nice to have the whole package when I need it. This version is fine so far.

    This is the same type of quality product I am used to buying from Microsoft. It is easy to use. I just didn't like having to pay for it. In the past it was part of the computer package.

    Not very user friendly

    Since Microsoft no longer supported XP internet, I saw no problem upgrading from Windows 7 to 8.1. The sales man never prepared me for what the upgrade would mean to a long time user of Windows for both business and home use. There was no gentle introduction to the world of Apps. All I wanted was my reliable internet connection returned with familiar Word and Excel. Well I've had to buy a new desktop pc, monitor and even instruction books just to relearn some new command language. Not very pleased. Long time user.

    Programs Vanished from Laptop

    I purchased this product in January 2015. I understood that by purchasing this product the programs included would remain on my laptop until such time as I updated to a newer version. In January 2016 the window programs simply disappeared from my laptop overnight. I did not purchase the Microsoft 365 product as I didn't want to pay a fee every year for the amount of use I need on my home laptop.

    I love how every thing you could possibly want to do is right at the touch of your finger. It has lots of shortcuts and allows many ways to set your computer up. Very easy to use

    All the graphics are easy to use, the only hard part was printing. It was difficult to figure out how to print the finished document.

    Without disk it has been difficult to take off one computer and reinstall on another. We paid for it we should be able to use it better.
