I really needed to upgrade my computer

Being short on technology skills, I really needed to upgrade my computer to be able to open shared documents. I had a ten-year-old Microsoft Office, so I purchased a 2021 version from My Choice Software. The technicians from My Choice Software were the very best, providing me with help. After finally getting everything downloaded and working, they contacted me to make sure my upgrade was functioning. In today's world, elderly folks like me truly appreciate outstanding help when we need it.

This is what excellent customer service looks like.

Dustin was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and had a sense of humor (added bonus). Even though it took more than one attempt to rectify the problem, he remained upbeat and patient. He took ownership of the outcome and achieved our goal. This is what excellent customer service looks like.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Will I be able to save my files to my onedrive so I can back up on the cloud?

    Yes, you can certainly save files to the cloud using OneDrive.

  • Can Microsoft Office Home & Student be loaded onto more than one device?

    No. Each license is valid for 1 user for 1 device. Each machine you have will require its own license.

  • Can I change from my introductory Microsoft 365s to Home and Student without having transfer problems. 365 is way to confusing for an old guy!

    Before you install Microsoft Office 2021 you will want to uninstall Microsoft 365 from your computer. Any files or documents you have saved on your computer will still be accessbile once you install the new version.

  • how much does it cost?

    We are currently offering Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Student for $139.99.

  • does this version recieve updates

    Yes, Office 2021 is currently receiving routine updates.

  • A lot of my files were Microsoft Word and Excel 2003. Will I be able to use these files on the newer version of Microsoft Word and Excel?

    Yes, you should be able to use Microsoft Word and Excel files created in an older version (such as Microsoft Word and Excel 2003) with the newer versions of Microsoft Word and Excel as Microsoft Office is designed to maintain backward compatibility. This includes Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Student.

  • Do you have this for a phone if you don’t have a computer?

    Unfortunately, Microsoft Office 2021 is not compatible on mobile devices or tablets. The only compatible version for mobile devices and tablets will be Microsoft 365 products.

New IT value

Office 2021 also includes new IT value for enhanced security and streamlined administration.

Reduce costs and improve security

We introduced Click-to-Run (C2R), a modern deployment technology, in Office 2013, and it’s now used to deploy and update Office across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. With Office 2021, we’re moving the on-premises versions of Office to C2R to reduce costs and improve security.

Enterprise-focused management capabilities

C2R offers the same enterprise-focused management capabilities as Microsoft Installer (MSI) based products and will also support an in-place upgrade when you move to Office 2021 from older MSI-based products. The advantages of C2R include predictable:

monthly security updates

up-to-date apps on installation

reduced network consumption*

easy upgrade path to Office 365 ProPlus

* Reduced network consumption through Windows 10 download optimization technology.

Office 2021 (for both Windows and Mac) is a one-time purchase and does not receive feature updates after you purchase it. Office 2021 includes a meaningful subset of features that are found in Office 365, but it's not part of Office 365. Office 2021 will receive quality and security updates as required.
