Hi Alex Zhelyazkova,

Greetings. Thank you for posting the thread to our community.

Based on your description, it seems you want to download Microsoft 365 desktop apps on your Chromebook.

As far as I know, I’m afraid and sorry to say currently it is not available to install desktop version of Microsoft 365 as the install package is only available for Windows and MacOS. For your reference: How to access Microsoft Office on a Chromebook - Microsoft Support.

In that case, I suggest you can try to check whether you can install a Windows OS on your Chromebook as workaround and install the desktop version of Microsoft 365 in Windows.

Personally, I do understand the inconvenience caused to your situation and I’m totally agree about the necessity of having desktop versions of Microsoft 365 on Chromebook. In that case, I sincerely recommend you go to Feedback community to vote this similar feedback: I want to be able to install the desktop version of Microsoft 365 Apps on Chrome OS. · Community.
