Reviews

"Microsoft Office is the best set of productivity apps for serious office work. The new version is an incremental upgrade that adds speed and some ingenious convenience feature. It also works in pretty much the same way as earlier versions, so there's no big learning curve for upgraders."

"Office 2021 is the latest version of Microsoft's office suite that’s probably more popular and more widely used than all other desktop applications in the world. It is faster and has some welcome additions such as on-the-fly translation of foreign languages to Outlook.

"Office 2021 is not a revolutionary change to the killer suite, but that's fine. If you've used to recent versions of the suite, you'll find the 2021 version to be a comfortingly familiar experience, with a low learning curve. Once you upgrade, you can get back to work quickly. Yet you'll also find enough new touches for it to be worth the money."

"Microsoft also offers Office as a subscription called Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), which requires you to pay for it by the month or year. When you buy this perpetual license version, you get security updates every few months. If you’re a corporate IT manager or just don’t like subscriptions, you’ll prefer this perpetual-license version."

"Very happy with my Microsoft Office purchase which was reasonably priced. Purchase was very straightforward. I had some installation problems because of a previous version being on my laptop. I was guided through the process with great care and all is now running well. Good service."

"I had purchased the wrong Microsoft Office for my Mac. I reached out to customer support via email and was sent the Mac version. This made my experience stress free. Overall happy with the service. Thank you!"

"Activated the product key through my Microsoft account. Amazing!"

Eight important reasons why this edition of Office Standard 2021 is such a great deal

2. Install on two computers You can install this Office 2021 Standard on two computers, as long as the two computers are used primarily by one user and at least one of the computers is a laptop.

3. Windows 10 and Windows 11 Office 2021 Standard runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

But it does not run on Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP.

For Windows 8 and Windows 7, get Microsoft Office 2016 Standard.

4. Choice of 32-bit or 64-bit Ms Office 2021 Standard is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You don't have to choose when you buy. You choose when you download the software.

What is more, if you, say, download the 32-bit version and decide later to try the 64-bit version, you can go back and download that one and install it. And if, later still, you yearn for the 32-bit version, simply download it and reinstall it again.

5. You can transfer it to your new computer Not all Microsoft Office editions allow you to transfer them to new computers. But this one does. With this Office 2021 Standard, you can remove it from your old machine and install it on your new one.

6. Lifetime License You pay once for the software and you can use it forever.

7. Gives you peace of mind Do you sometimes lose things?

Of if you lose the software, you can always download it and reinstall it again.

8. Available as download and on disc Although the software comes as a download we can if you wish, download it for you, burn it onto a disc and mail it out to you. We won't charge for this, by the way.
