    Hi Valerie Budge

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Q&A Forum!

    If you’re looking for Microsoft applications that do not include Copilot in a home environment, here are the only options currently available:

    1. Office 2021 (Perpetual, One‑Time Purchase)

    None of the Office 2021 apps include Copilot. These apps do not receive AI updates and remain entirely Copilot‑free throughout their lifecycle.

    Copilot‑free apps in Office 2021:

    • Word 2021
    • Excel 2021
    • PowerPoint 2021
    • Outlook 2021
    • OneNote 2021
    • Access 2021
    • Publisher 2021

    2. Microsoft 365 Personal Classic / Family Classic

    These “Classic” versions of Microsoft 365 are specifically offered without Copilot, and Microsoft confirms they exclude Copilot features in the apps themselves.

    Copilot‑free apps in Classic versions:

    • Word (Classic)
    • Excel (Classic)
    • PowerPoint (Classic)
    • Outlook (Classic)
    • OneNote (Classic)
    • Clipchamp (Classic)

    3. Microsoft 365 Basic

    This plan includes no desktop Office apps, so there is no Copilot integration in any application.

    Even though you’re looking for Copilot‑free options, it may be worth giving the Copilot‑enhanced apps a try, as they bring real productivity benefits that many users find genuinely helpful.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
