Microsoft Office is a standalone productivity suite that’s only available as a one-time purchase, while Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based subscription service that offers the same apps as Office 2019 but with additional tools and benefits. If you’d like to try out Microsoft Office but aren’t sure if you’re ready to commit, download the Microsoft 365 free trial and use Microsoft Office for free for one month.
What Microsoft Doesn't Want You to Know About Microsoft Office
