I am running Windows 10. I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I just want to purchase the suite for use.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For business | Windows

    Dear Stephen Stoewer,

    Greetings! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    I understand you don't want to purchase a monthly subscription of Office.

    You may purchase a one-time purchase Office such as Office Home & Business 2021 or Office Professional 2021.

    For your reference:

    Buy Office Home & Business 2021 (PC or Mac) - Download & Pricing | Microsoft Store

    Buy Microsoft Office Professional 2021 - Download Key & Pricing

    Note:

    • Office Home & Business 2021 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. It can be installed only on 1 PC or Mac.
    • Office Professional 2021 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, plus Publisher(PC only) and Access(PC only). It can be installed only on 1 PC.

    I hope above helps!

    Feel free to let me know if you have any concerns, I'll be glad to help you further.

    Hope you have a nice day, stay safe and healthy always.

    Sincerely,

    Tina | Microsoft Community Moderator

    Hi, you can purchase one-time payment versions of Office:

    Home and Student 2021 with Word, Excel, PowerPoint

    Home and Business 2021 with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

    Office Professional 2021 with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook as well as Access and Publisher (PC only)

    View all Microsoft Office Apps and Services | Microsoft 365

    You cannot purchase legal versions of Office Pro Plus. They are sold online in contravention of the Microsoft licence

    You can purchase Stand alone Word, but it is as expensive as Home and Student. But it can be used for commercial purposes unlike Home and Student: Buy Microsoft Word (PC or Mac) | Cost of Word Only or with Microsoft 365

    Hi, is it possible to buy Microsoft Word (no subscription, not an office suite, just a stand alone copy of microsoft word) without a Microsoft account? I can't seem to find a way to do this. Thanks!

    I have installed Professional Plus for 1 PC. I am reading the license terms and have to click on accepting the terms, which sound as though I will be charged a subscription.

    When repairing my computer, HP installed a subscription version of Word on my computer, which I will delete.

    So, will I have to pay a subscription for Professional Plus for 1 PC?

    For the answer above, what is the difference between the Home & Office version and the Professinal version?

    Is Power point included with each version?
