Which Office is Compatible with Windows 10?

 The official Microsoft website indicates which Microsoft Office package can be installed on Windows 10. Among the compatible products are:

  • Office 2016 (version 16);
  • Office 2013 (version 15);
  • Office 2010 (version 14).

On devices with a touch screen input, Windows 10 developers recommend installing Office Mobile applications: simplified versions of applications that are adapted specifically for touch and do not require the use of a keyboard or mouse. For those who do not know how to download mobile versions of office programs, you should go to the Windows Store and enter "Office" in the search field. Options will appear in the output field. Among them, select: "Word Mobile" or "Excel Mobile".

Also, the free Open Office suite is well compatible with Windows 10. This is an analogue of the Microsoft product, only with a simplified interface and tools.

You can install any compatible version of Microsoft Office on a Windows 10 PC or laptop. However, if you need a free product, you should pay attention to the following programs:

Open office;

Office 365: 1 month trial with 1 TB cloud storage;

Microsoft Office ONLINE.

Why we recommend these programs:

You can try and decide which package is the best and then install it on your PC;

Free use in the first option and free, only with a limitation of 1 month, in the second;

The online version does not need to be installed.

Both Open Office and Office 365 are suitable for the new operating system. Therefore, we propose to consider ways to install them.

Installing OpenOffice

In order to download Open Office, you should follow the link and select "Download Apache Open Office".

Next, specify the version of the operating system (this is Windows), language and click "Download full version".

The program will start downloading. The installation will be standard. The Installer Wizard will appear. You need to follow the prompts. After installation, the program shortcut will be pinned to the desktop.

Install a free trial of Office 365

To install a trial version of the latest build of office programs on your PC, you should follow the link and click "Try for free".

Next, you will need to enter your Microsoft account username and password.

A new window will appear, which will indicate that after a month of free use of the program, it will cost ... (the amount depends on the region).

By downloading and installing the free software package, a month of free trial will be enough to see if these applications are suitable for your PC.

Using Microsoft Office ONLINE

If you use office programs infrequently or you don't have a lot of free space on your PC, Microsoft Office is available online. It does not need to be installed or purchased, and in terms of functionality it is in no way inferior to the standard software package. office.com/setup
