Question

When installing OFFICE 365 error msg this software requires MAC OS V14 or later. My MacBook Pro only accepts macOS Ventura V13.7.4

I paid for the latest full OFFICE 365 and I can only use an online version? Come on!

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.

If you're running Ventura MAC OS 13, you can run Office 16.100. At the History page, look for the Office Suite Installer,

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.
