Need to download older version of Microsoft 365

Question

How can I downlaod an older version of Office 365 that will work on MacOS 13.7.8?

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Microsoft 365 for Mac, Office 2024 for Mac, and Office 2021 for Mac support the three most recent major versions of Apple’s macOS.

As of September 2025, those versions are macOS Tahoe, macOS Sequoia, and macOS Sonoma.

In this situation, you can download an older version of the Office packages from the Update History page, which will work on your device.

Release history for Office for Mac:

On macOS 13 (Ventura), you can run Office 16.100, released on August 12, 2025.

Download the full installer, not the separate package.

Install the Office packages and sign in with your Microsoft account to use Office. Ensure you remove all previous Office apps from the Applications folder before installing older versions.

Let me know if you still need more help.

Answer 2

To download an older version of Office 365 that works on macOS 13.7.8, you will need to install an older version of Office and activate it using your Office license. Microsoft supports only the three most recent versions of macOS, so you may not be able to download the latest Office version directly from your account. However, you can find older installers that are compatible with your macOS version. Make sure to check if you have a valid license for the older version you wish to install.
