Dear meriem saidi

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist!

Based on your description, I understand you concern with Microsoft 365 Business Basic.

Yes, you can still use your own desktop versions of Word and Excel even if you purchase Microsoft 365 Business Basic. The Business Basic plan primarily offers web-based applications and does not include the desktop versions of Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

However, if you already have a valid license for the desktop versions of these apps, you can continue using them without any interruptions as long as your current Office license remains valid.

If you have other questions, please feel free to let me know, I will continue to assist you.

Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated. Have a nice day!
