How do I add Office 2021 to my computer without adding 365?

Question

I purchased Office 2021 thru my employer. I signed into Microsoft to choose and install it. I clicked the Redemption Key and after entering the product key it wants me to hit the "Redeem" button to install it, but I have to agree to accept Microsoft 365 Supplement. I want Office 2021 not Office 365. How do I get to and install Office 2021. My ultimate goal is to get it and then move from Windows 2010 to Windows 2011 operating system. I can't give up my Word and Excel documents.

Hi Gerry, Thanks for posting here in the Microsoft community, you can try this.

To install Office 2021 without getting Microsoft 365 simply go to https://setup.office.com, Sign in with your Microsoft account then Enter your product key and click Redeem then Even if it mentions “Microsoft 365 Supplement,” it’s just a license agreement, you’re still getting Office 2021.

After redeeming, go to your Microsoft account > Services & subscriptions and download Office 2021 from there.

You’ll get Word and Excel as part of Office 2021 no subscription needed.

 

I hope this helps you out.
