    Hi, here Office Home 2024 OR Office Home & Business 2024 If this is a new computer uninstall the trial version of Microsoft 365 Subscription, otherwise it will interfere with your perpetual version.

    PS: you need to use a Microsoft Account to purchase your Office from the Microsoft Store links above. Your Office will be tied to that Microsoft Account and you cannot change it. You can reinstall your Office using that account in the future. Once installed see here https://account.microsoft.com/services Sign in with the Microsoft Account.

    To buy Office as a one-time purchase (not a subscription), choose Office 2024, which is sold as a single up-front purchase instead of Microsoft 365.

    Options:

    1. Buy Office 2024 (one-time purchase)
      • Examples: Office Home 2024, Office Home & Business 2024.
      • Pay once and install on one computer (PC or Mac).
      • You receive security updates and fixes during the supported period, but no new features and no Microsoft 365 subscription benefits.
      • Use the official “Buy Office 2024” or “See plans and pricing” pages to complete the purchase.
    2. After purchase
      • Sign in with the same Microsoft account used to buy Office.
      • Go to the Services & subscriptions page for that account.
      • Locate the Office 2024 product and use the Install option to download and install it on the device.

    If a subscription is not wanted at all, avoid Microsoft 365 Personal/Family and select the Office 2024 one-time purchase SKU instead.
