I am self employed and setting up my own business. I have a new laptop with windows 11 home installed. I have purchased 365 business standard, but cannot use my 365 account for login. Should I upgrade win 11 home to win 11 pro?

    Hi,

    Office 365 Buisness should work with Windows 11 Home. Could you please share the exact screenshot of the error?

    Office 365 Business Standard does not specifically require Windows 11 Pro. It can be used with:

    • Windows 11 (Home, Pro, or Enterprise)
    • Windows 10 (Home, Pro, or Enterprise)
    • Windows 8.1

    Office 365 Business Standard is compatible with various Windows versions, allowing flexibility for businesses using different operating systems. The choice between Windows editions depends on other business needs and features required beyond Office compatibility.
