Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024 – 1 PC or Mac

Description

Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024

Get the familiar desktop Office apps for everyday documents, spreadsheets, presentations, email and notes. Office Home & Business 2024 is a one-time purchase for one Windows PC or one Mac, suitable for home and commercial use. It is not a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Included applications

• Word: write, format and review documents.
• Excel: organise data, calculate with formulas and create charts.
• PowerPoint: build and present slide decks.
• Outlook: manage supported email accounts, calendars and contacts.
• OneNote: keep notes and ideas organised.

Windows and Mac features can differ. This edition does not include Access, Publisher, Project, Visio, Microsoft 365 subscription benefits, a hosted email service or a paid cloud-storage allowance.

Licence and Microsoft account

• One licence covers one PC or one Mac, not both at the same time.
• The licence is linked to the Microsoft account used for redemption. Use your own account and keep access to it for installation and licence management.
• Pay once for the Office 2024 version. No monthly or annual Office subscription is required.
• A future major Office release is a separate purchase. A perpetual licence does not mean perpetual updates or support.

Microsoft currently lists Office 2024 support ending on 9 October 2029. Keep your operating system and Office installation within Microsoft’s supported requirements. See Microsoft’s Office 2024 lifecycle.

System requirements: Windows

• Operating system: supported Windows 11 installation. ARM-based PCs require Windows 11.
• Processor: dual-core, 1.1 GHz or faster.
• Memory: 4 GB RAM.
• Storage: at least 4 GB free space.
• Display: 1280 × 768 or higher; 64-bit Office is required for 4K and above.
• Graphics acceleration: Direct3D 9.1 or later with a WDDM 1.3 or later driver.
• Some features require .NET 3.5 or 4.6 and later.

Windows 10 notice: Microsoft still mentions Windows 10 on its Store page, but Windows 10 reached end of support on 14 October 2025. Do not treat it as equivalent to a supported Windows 11 setup. Microsoft’s current dedicated requirements page lists Windows 11; Windows 10-related problems can fall outside support.

System requirements: Mac

• Operating system: one of the three most recent major macOS versions supported by Microsoft. This changes as Apple releases new versions.
• Processor: compatible Intel or Apple silicon Mac that supports the required macOS version.
• Memory: 4 GB RAM.
• Storage: at least 10 GB free space.
• Display: 1280 × 800 or higher.

Both platforms require a Microsoft account and internet access for download, account association and activation. Periodic internet connection is required to maintain activation. Core desktop work can be done offline between those checks. Online services and email require their own connection and accounts.

Requirements checked against Microsoft’s current Office system requirements. For Mac compatibility, also check Microsoft’s macOS support guidance before ordering.
