If you want to get Microsoft Office on your Windows computer, the newest version might not be the way to go. Here are five reasons why:
- You can get Microsoft Office 2021 here for $69.97 (on sale through Nov. 10), while the 2024 version is $249.99 through Microsoft.
- Both versions include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, though you’ll only get Publisher, Access, and Teams with the older version. So, you actually get more apps for less money.
- The older version is best for those who aren’t a big fan of AI. You won’t be bothered by intelligent suggestions while writing, working with spreadsheets, or presenting as you would be with the newer version.
- Microsoft Office 2021’s apps have familiar interfaces, while you’d have to spend time learning the layout of those in 2024.
- You only need 1GB of RAM to install the older version, compared to a minimum of 4GB for the newer one.
