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.

    Been trying for months to get a PS5. Best Buy came through. There were great. I know there was some luck involved, but I really felt that Best Buy was outstanding throughout my purchase and pick up process. So I got an excellent product from an excellent supplier.

    I have no idea what this is. It came with something and I never used it. I bet if I downloaded it I wouldn’t use it. But if I were a student… I still wouldn’t. I’d skip class and waste my parents money instead… like you should. Get with the program you hosers! Go Canada!

    I kind of wish they gave you the option to install this without having a Microsoft account. It would be cool if they could put it on a USB drive. I would feel better about spending 150 dollars on something besides a piece of cardboard.

    I hadn't upgraded Office since 2013 so I figured it was time to get a new version. It has al l the stuff you'll need for a home business and some quality of life upgrades from the old version. If you're on a budget and need Office this is the version to get since everyone on your PC can use it and you don't need to pay any subscriptions.

    I do not highly recommend it. Well, if you have enough budget and do not know other software, it would be a good choice. However, if you use R, SAS, LaTeX, and etc., you can finish most your work on them. I bought it, but I really do not use much it in my daily life. A little regretful!

    How could this not be quality? This version, the pay once for one device, from what I understand, is being phased out, so we will have to pay for subscriptions. It was not readily available in the store, but the lovely young man who helped me knew where he could find the sku online.

    Everything was ready for pick up when we pulled up to the door and the fellow loaded it in the back of my car. I had printed the order, had my driver's license and credit card ready. This worked just like expected. I am in the process of setting up the new system. I would definitely order from Best Buy again.

    This was very easy to install, was looking for a package that included the Excel and power point and this was what I was looking for. The price was on special and to me was the best deal since it is only a one time fee instead of the multiple computer license that required also anual payments. This was the best option for me and what I was looking for.

    I had been operating on a 2003 version and needed to upgrade as well. This purchase allowed me to work on Mac's and windows, but even better, it was on sale for 99.00. Recommend for anyone to purchase outright verse the yearly fee based versions to save money. Very easy set up for those who are not computer literate like me...

    Better than Office 365

    I chose to purchase Microsoft Office rather than do the annual Office 365 subscription. There are pros and cons to each, so it depends on intentions. Purchase Office and you own it. Whereas 365 requires annual renewals. 365 does offer updates as long as your subscription is active, whereas Office discontinue updates 60 days after purchase.

    My previous version of Microsoft Officed was from 2007 so it was very old and no longer supported. It also couldn't be loaded on my new computer, so I now have an updated version so I can continue to do the things I need to process. This product is one "I can't live without."
