Solved MS Office version?

[Alexey2912]

Hi there,

I use MS Word the most of all components of Office 2007.

Which Off version would you experts recommend with Win 10 Pro 64 bit?

Thanks!


BTW is Office 2007 compatible?.....none official support??

I have a Windows 7 machine that came with Office 2007, Word and Excel run without a problem after upgrading it to Windows 10.

I've even tested installing Office 2000 on another W10 machine. That too works fine.

Advantages? Apart from being expensive....

Thanks.

Office 2010 reaches its end of support on October 13 2020.


Unsupported versions of Office will not have the latest security fixes, but unless you make a habit of opening documents you got from the web that contain macros, then security shouldn't be an issue. If you do regularly open such documents, then to be safe you should buy a newer version of MS Office.


Alternatively, use a free Office suite such as LibreOffice.

I tried setting up both exchange for work and my yahoo account on outlook 2010 and I kept getting a server connection error. I had no issues setting them up on outlook 2016 on my Windows 8.1 virtual machine so apparently older versions of outlook are blocked by some email providers and I actually found a yahoo help article stating that they have blocked older clients. I haven't tried my gmail or msn (outlook) accounts because I rarely touch those. Maybe tomorrow I can try with gmail and MSN but I suspect that they have also been blocked. If you wish to use an email client you might have to get a third party one like thunderbird.

Outside of that if you trust yourself with documents and are careful stay with what you know but if you want security go with 2013 or later. I would not go with 365 because of the subscription. If you don't want to pay for later versions but you want to get something that's updated go with free alternatives.
