Just a reminder for those who didn't know already, if you are attending an institution (RA, I think some NA or private learning centers, may even have it) -
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/educatio...cts/office
The 'basic MS office suite' options are what's needed, options that may require an install onto the PC such as Access and Publisher is not included. This would work well for those who want to have or may want to use collaboration tools such as MS Teams and other MS apps as well...
For those who want an even more basic option, the 'home version', you just need to have an MS account (Hotmail.com or Outlook.com), you get 15G of storage and can access MS office suite features, but not the 'full blown features' available on the 365, it's a slimmed down yet workable version.

Basically, I have 3 email addresses (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) in addition to my schools and work email addresses.
My school and work emails would be obsolete when I move schools or workplaces, so I don't use them for other purposes.
Find your reasons of having an email from each of these three providers, you really don't need anything more.
Google.com - For use with their Google Drive, Office compatible online version, and to store up to 15G for emails, pictures, etc.
Outlook.com - For use with MS Office Home versions and to store personal emails, pictures, etc with their 15G storage space.
Yahoo.com - For newsletters, receipts, signups, and so on, this is to house all the possible 'spam' emails and it has 1TB storage.
I don't like to install any software on my desktop or laptops, so using an online cloud based service will suffice for me.
Some would want to install MS Office 365 and others would want the Libre Office or something for their Linux systems.
Each person should decide what they need, if these online services fit the bill, and for which purposes...

So yeah, if you're in need of Office software and you qualify, go for it. Can't beat free, right? Plus, having the latest version means you're up to date with all the cool features they've added.

If you're a student or a teacher, definitely take advantage of this offer. It's legit and can save you some serious cash. Having all those Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at your fingertips without paying? That's a win in my book.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to chime in on this thread about getting
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021 for free. It's such a sweet deal! I've been using it for a while now, and it's super handy, especially for school and work stuff.I know sometimes these things can seem too good to be true, but this one checks out. It's not just a trial or a limited version—it's the real deal. Just make sure you follow the steps on the forum to get set up.
