Second year in a row- Argos is the cheapest place I could find to renew my Office 365 Home subscription. Ebay and Amazon- the cheapest was £65. Argos, £49.99- bundled with Norton or McAfee. I suspect that each of the awful AV vendors subsidise the cost by a tenner.

It goes without saying that I won't be installing McAfee.

would this not meet your needs

one time purchase.

Thanks. Good shout.

That is only a one person licence and only works on w10 and w11 (up to three devices though- provided that they run w10/11).

It also only seems to offer the free level of MS cloud storage - from memory, that is 15Gb (and includes email storage). I have way more than that in my cloud space (admittedly, I could delete some). I have no idea how much the other people piggybacking on my account are using on their own (individual) terabyte space.

When on site, I occasionally, need to edit Excel or Word files. Office 365 allows me to to do that on my phone. The package you recommended will not.

I used to, cough, cough, PirateBay, Office in the old days, but the ability to access/edit files on my phone and laptop (and being able to text links to quotes without knowing the customer's email address) makes my life much easier. I could save about 20% (PA) by paying for Office 365 Personal, but 20% more, and I can help 5 other people.

I am not a fan of SAAS (software as a service- read subscription based), but I genuinely see Office 365 Home as being very good value.

Other people could get away with using free software such as Open Office and ThunderBird as their email client, and perhaps I could, but, meh, path of least resistance, and all that.

Hopefully, your post will help other people that do not need all the bells and whistles (that I have convinced myself that I need).

It expires yesterday.

I suspect that it is a perpetual state of expiring "today"- it currently says that there are 13 hours left.


theres a free version of microsoft 365 cloud version (I think)


I did once try the web version but it messed up the position of my company logo on my quotes. It is also feature poor compared to the desktop version. Thanks nevertheless though.
 

Can't pick your username, but cheap as chips.

ah ok

I bought a 3 user copy of office professional for about £25 I think it was 2022 version, but its worked perfectly for me

I did try using google suite but found it irritating -google docs doesnt have the formatting abilities of excel at all

Buy yourself a lifetime serial (or OEM one if you think you'll never need to attempt re-installing Windows)

Thanks, but legitimate lifetime serials (with updates) do not seem to exist. There are many companies on the likes of eBay whom claim to offer them. They seem to be dodgy "educational" organisations who get free licences, they then sell them on, and at some point, MS will decide that the are being shafted and pull the plug.
