Purchased the Office 365 software but it won't install as it requires my MacBook to update to a later version however the software update is at the latest version that it is able to update to due to the age of the machine. What can i do besides using the web versions of office?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | MacOS

Thank you for that information.

If your version of MacOS is Monterey, the last version of Office that will work on MacOS Monterey is 16.88, that is available on the long table on this link to all the downloadable versions from the Microsoft servers, if you have any previous version of Office installed on your Mac, that needs to be uninstalled first.

    Please provide some more information on this problem, at the top left of your Mac desktop, click the Apple icon and select 'About this Mac', what version of MacOS is installed on your computer?
