MS Office old version 2010-2020 one-time license

Buy Office Home 2024 directly from Microsoft Malaysia for RM729 if you want the cheapest current genuine one-time-purchase Office suite for home use. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for one PC or Mac, but not classic Outlook.^1^

Before purchasing

Because you previously had Microsoft 365, first sign in to the Microsoft account used for it and open Services & subscriptions. Check whether:

• Microsoft 365 is still active.
• A previous perpetual Office licence is already attached to the account.
• The subscription is recurring and needs cancellation.

Windows and Office licences are separate; a Windows 10 Pro licence does not provide an Office licence.^2^

Why not buy Office 2010–2020?

Avoid buying old Office 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, or 2019 keys merely because they are inexpensive:

• Office 2007 has long been out of support and receives no security updates.^3^
• Office 2013 stopped receiving security updates in April 2023.^4^
• Support for Office 2016 and Office 2019 ended in October 2025.^5^
• Very cheap Professional Plus or “lifetime” keys are often organisation volume licences rather than valid home-consumer licences. They may activate initially and later become deactivated.^6^

Purchase from Microsoft Malaysia or an authorised Malaysian retailer, and ensure the product is specifically a consumer retail licence connected to your own Microsoft account.

Important Windows 10 point

Office Home 2024 can be installed on Windows 10, but Windows 10 itself reached end of support on October 14, 2025.^7^

Therefore:

1. Check whether the PC can upgrade to Windows 11.
2. If it cannot, Office 2024 may still install, but continuing to use an unsupported operating system carries security and compatibility risks.
3. Consider replacing or upgrading the PC before spending substantially on new software.

Choose according to what you need

• Word, Excel and PowerPoint on one computer: Office Home 2024, RM729.
• Classic Outlook as well: Office Home & Business 2024 instead; Office Home 2024 does not include Outlook.^8^
• Several devices, Outlook and OneDrive storage: Microsoft 365 Personal may offer better value, but it requires recurring payment.
• Basic use with no purchase: Use the free browser versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. These do not provide the full desktop applications.[^9^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Compare Microsoft 365 and Office plans | Microsoft Support")

Office 2024 receives security updates but not newly introduced features, is licensed for one computer, and does not include future major-version upgrades.^10^
