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.
