Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ease of use, price, and the inclusion of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in Office Home & Student 2019. Many appreciate the software's performance and straightforward installation process. While some users wish for Outlook to be included and for the product to offer ongoing updates, the overall feedback highlights its value for its core applications. The lack of a subscription model is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    Very confusing to install

    Super confusing to install onto Windows 10 due to multiple prompts for windows ID (and pre-installed Office demo / Office 365). I had to contact Microsoft and have a remote tech install it and take off the unneeded programs from my new laptop.

    I've used Microsoft Office for many years and find it a very useful tool for my needs. This is the updated version of what I have been using and expect it to be every bit as useful to me.

    I bought this as I'm always typing papers and it's always hard to find free programs to type that work in all computers. And it was a good decision and it's a lifetime membership for one computer..

    I've used these programs in the past. Especially when I was teaching. I am retired now. Mostly, I use Word now. Easy to use, convenient. It's definitely worth the price to me.

    I hate that software companies are all going to yearly subscriptions. Why can't we just buy what we want? I'm so glad this was still available. Word Powerpoint Excel & OneNote - just what I needed.

    I purchase office but then found out there are good alternatives now. I have been using word for 15 years and never any of the other programs within the software. Would be great if you could purchase just word as a stand alone. The upgraded word is fine.

    Unfortunately, Microsoft Office is THE standard for business use and is necessary for any computer that will be used for work. For me, it's bloatware and somewhat invasive of my privacy. I much prefer the simpler, slimmer older versions of Office - but that's just me.

    Difficult Installation

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

    For some reason, the download and installation procedure did not work well. After quite some time and clicking on various items, it finally installed. Now it seems to be working well, although there are changes to become adjusted to, particularly in PowerPoint.

    I've been using Office 2011 (I think) on my old MacBook Pro for years now, so this has been a great update. It's still familiar enough, but has been polished enough to keep up with the times.

    Best and easiest word processor software to use. Free online word processors are available, but you run the risk of in-bedded 3rd party programs creating software conflicts for your system.
