Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always been a Office Fan and usually purchase it for all my computers and laptops. This edition seems to be working well. I had to take back a laptop it was installed on but t was able to use key code on new laptop after call to customer service and few hoops. Working fine!

Office is all but mandatory for college classes but I wish there was another viable option. I don’t have an issue, necessarily, with Office but with M$. We bought a new laptop with a 90 day trial of Office 365 along with Office Home & Student 2016. I was told that the software was already loaded on the machine and all we needed to do was enter the code on the back and Office would be good to go. That wasn’t the case at all. Office 365 started conflicting with Office Home & Student and we ended up needing four different techs from Microsoft to clean up the mess of uninstalling Office 365, then downloading and installing Office H&S. You will have to set up an account with M$ just to activate Office. The first tech I had to deal with assigned the activation code to an Outlook email address that wasn’t ours. Both the second and third tech kept claiming that once the key code is assigned to an account there was no re-assigning the product. The third tech was the one that figured out the conflict and uninstalled Office 365 and started the download of Office H&S. I was disconnected from the third tech before the download was completed. The fourth tech had to get a new product code to assign our MS account reflecting our proper email address. For some reason another uninstall/download/re-install was necessary because… why not. Setting up the M$ account is intrusive. I shouldn’t have to provide birth dates and phone numbers just to activate software that I purchased. Once upon a time a paying customer would just buy software on physical media and didn’t have to provide enough information to open an unsecured loan to get it to start. All told M$ wasted 6 hours of my life just to get their product to work. I’m sure my story isn’t typical but MS doesn’t have any regard for their customer’s time.

I have the entire suite of MS. I use every one of them and I use it for a work from home situation.

Meets all of my needs for managing finances, creating templates and documenting data.

Remember when computers came with these programs and you didn't have to buy them extra

Any computer you purchase you have to buy this not worth having a computer without it

Enjoy using. Easy to install. Lots of great features.

I have been using Microsoft Office for several years and I like the programs. I especially like the Publisher program for design and I use excel for lots of projects and lists. I can't justify an annual subscription, but I think this version will fit my usage needs.

I was pleased to get Word and Outlook (not to mention the other stuff) at such a reasonable price (compared to purchasing everything separately). I will probably never use the PowerPoint and seldom use Excel, but it's nice to know they are there if I should ever need them.

I like having windows on my computer and glad I don’t have to renew unless I want to.

I really like this purchase it comes in handy and think it makes life so much easier!

I'm a strong believer that Microsoft should include a version of office in their Windows product. With that being said, "renting" office monthly through the subscription option doesn't make much sense so I purchased the more expensive option and it works as expected.

This program has everything the kids need to do school and presentations for school.

Purchased for my daughter's laptop for college. Most economical choice for several years of use.

I got a great price on this when bundling it with a laptop purchase for my daughter.

I needed a one time program that did not have to be updated from time to time since all of my work is for personal use and very simplistic. This program fit the bill and I am happy that I purchased it. It can do as much as you want or in my case as little as I need it to do.

My daughter, needs this program for her jr. year in highschool. It is perfect for what she needs.

Great product, however since I have 2 laptops it may have been wiser to pay monthly.

Bought with new Lenovo Yoga 710 2-in-1 Laptop. Bundled one time price seems to be better value than annual fee for Office 365. Easy install. Good upgrade from our Office 2007 and no CD/DVD required. Laptop lacks Optical drive. So far performs for our needs.

I mainly use Excell and was pleasantly surprised I was able to incorporate an older version with this new one. It has been very easy to use and I am trying to learn more as I progress. I used the Microsoft Word recently and found it fairly workable. Have not used the other parts.
