Microsoft Office Home and Business 2024 – Key linked to your Microsoft account (PC or Mac)

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2024 is the latest generation of the office suite as a one-off purchase. It installs on 1 Windows PC or 1 Mac and is tied to your Microsoft account, which makes it the exact equivalent of a licence bought in a shop — with no Microsoft 365 subscription to renew.

The software included

• Word 2024 — word processing, dictation, Focus mode, reviewing, templates.
• Excel 2024 — spreadsheet with the most recent dynamic functions, pivot tables and Power Query.
• PowerPoint 2024 — presentations, Morph transition, slideshow recording, automatic captions.
• Outlook 2024 — mail, calendar, contacts and tasks.

The Home and Business edition does not include Access, reserved for the Professional Plus editions.

Key linked to your Microsoft account

This licence is a Bind Key: it is tied permanently to the Microsoft account used at activation, and can no longer be associated with another account. In return, you find the licence again in your Services and subscriptions area and can reinstall Office as often as you like on your machine, after a reformat or a change of disk, without re-entering the key.

What's new in this version

The 2024 generation brings a refreshed interface, better memory management on large files, native support for Apple Silicon chips on the Mac side, new Excel functions and a faster search engine in Outlook. These applications are installed locally: they do not include the cloud services of a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Activation

Your activation key reaches you by e-mail within 24 hours at most. Sign in to Microsoft's Office setup page with the account of your choice, enter the key, download the installer suited to your system, then install the suite.

System requirements

• Windows 10, Windows 11 or macOS (one of the three latest major versions)
• 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, Intel or Apple Silicon on Mac
• 4 GB of RAM
• 4 GB of disk space on Windows, 10 GB on macOS
• Microsoft account and Internet connection
