Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 works great!

I digitally upgraded from my Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010 version to the Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 version for my personal use on my home Windows 10 Pro HP Pavilion Computer. The download went smoothly without any problems, and quickly with the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version so as to be fully compatible with my 32-bit files. This 2019 version has some enhancements that are new, but with a little patience and careful reading it turns out to be quite enjoyable working great with Windows 10, especially with it working seamlessly with your Word and Excel files, unless you download the 64-bit version and expect it to work well with your 32-bit files. Be sure to copy and save your Product Key for future reference if needed in the future. The one-time cost was $129.99 for this version instead of paying an annual subscription to Microsoft for selecting the Office 365 version. That works out much better for me! Once it was installed, I found it in my Windows "Start" Menu, and created "Shortcuts" on my Desktop for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote (OneNote was already installed in my computer before I downloaded the new version) in my computer from the Microsoft site from Amazon.com. Overall, I very happy that I upgraded to the Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 version.

Attention Mac Users!

Hi all, First review on Amazon ever but I wanted to reach out to Mac users out there who were like me and realized Microsoft Word 2008 was not going to work with MacOS Mojave Version 10.14 at all. And if you were like me, you didn't want to pay a subscription fee every year. I had been living on borrowed time for years with an old Microsoft Word 2008 and just today it was crashing every time I tried to print. I updated to Mojave about a week ago. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro. The download steps were straightforward enough. I found the compressed files in my "View Downloads" and set to work. It all took less than 15 minutes. I didn't remove Microsoft Word 2008 from my computer because I was afraid I'd be left with no Word software at all. This didn't seem to bother the installation at all. I did get some error messages when I tried to login with my Microsoft account email (user id) and password for the first time using the software. It wasn't letting me edit, save or print files. I started to panic, but I just restarted my computer and it seems to be working fine. Wondering how long this version will last before I have to buy another update. I'm assuming it will be good for a few years? Anyways, I'm very pleased as going from my work's up-to-date Microsoft Word to my Chevrolet Chevette of Word was wearing thin. Best of luck!

Great service (eventually)

I've used Word and Excel for years but had to replace older copies after installing Mojave on my Mac. The file, 1.6G, takes a while to download. After my Mac refuses to install it twice, I contacted live technicians at Microsoft. That is not easily accomplished, but they did an admiral job.

Download and Install went quickly and smoothly.

Looking at the number of 1 star reviews, you should have a certain amount of apprehension buying this product. I am pleased to report that based on my experience I believe those issues have been resolved. I was moving from Office for Mac 2011 for the same reasons other reported that it was no longer playing nice with Mojave. I did glean from many of the reviews that deleting prior versions of MS Office would be a good idea and I did so. I was able to download the product from the link that Amazon provided. It is a 3 GB file, so depending on your download speed you might expect this to take awhile. Mine completed in less than 10 minutes. Then clicking on the install button started the process and in another 10 minutes that was completed. When launching the product for the first time, MS forces you to login to your MS Account to verify the product key and then leaves you alone. I tried to do updates and was pleased that MS provided the latest updates when the product was being downloaded, as there were no updates available. I am sure there are new features to figure out, but you should not have any trouble banging a letter out as you used to in your prior version of MS Office.

Read this before downloading

I changed from a 365 subscription to the student program. I was paying the annual fee for no good reason since I only use Word and Excel. The download seems to be the main issue other users have had. First, I uninstalled my old program. Secondly, I made sure I knew the password for my Microsoft email. Then I purchased the program and followed the links. Some people said they didn't need the key. That is probably because it automatically loads the key so they didn't notice it. The actual download was buried within a list of my old Microsoft software. It was not at the beginning, nor the end but mixed within the list. There was even a line between the description and the download. Next, I made sure I knew where set-up was being stored and made adjustments accordingly. And, last, installation. It took longer than expected but went smoothly. Done! All of my documents opened fine and I am happy. Hope this helps.

Great product

I owned Windows 2007 and it is not supported by Microsoft any more.. I just purchased a new computer and tried to load my old version and it did not work out very well, so I thought it was time to upgrade. I wanted one that did not have to be renewed each year. This one fit the bill. Downloaded was really easy and it works great. I was able to transfer alll my files without any problems.

Easy download, works perfectly.

Finally had to upgrade from my trusty old Office 2008, as it won't play well with Mojave. Saw some bad reviews with download/install issues, so thought long and hard before I took the plunge. I did erase the 2008 version and restart before downloading Office 2019, and everything went off without a hitch. The new version works great. Some things are laid ut a little differently, but I can already tell there is a lot more functionality than I've had for the last 10 years.

Downloaded Without Issue

I was concerned after reading the reviews about downloading problems, but mine went without a hitch. I have a MacBook Pro and the Mac version downloaded without issue. I was able to download the new version without first deleting my old existing version of Word. One thing to be aware of... the download isn't available immediately. For some reason, Amazon needs to check the validity of the order and my approval to download came via email about 50 minutes after I ordered it. Until then the download page said the verification was "in progress" or something to that effect. End result however is I have slick new versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that work with Mojave. Very satisfied.

Worked Fine For Me

There seem to be a few reviews indicating the download did not work. There's also at least one indicating you can't open old Office files. I've only been messing around with this for a few minutes now, but I felt compelled to come and let you know neither of those is true...for me. As I just stated, I've tested opening old Office files so the download clearly worked. What I tested was an Excel file showing "last modified" in 2008 (probably Office 2003) and a Word file last modified in 2003 (but probably Office 97 based on when it was created). All I did was open them to make sure it worked. It took about 30-45 minutes for everything to download and install. There were no prompts for installation so that may be a bit upsetting for some. There may be a way to change the installation path or remove features you don't want after it has already installed, but I cannot confirm. The odd thing to me is that it installed itself in a folder under "Program Files" called "Office 16" when I clearly bought and am running the 2019 version. NBD What you might care about is that it seems to require a Microsoft account to install. That's how they track ownership of it. I already had one so it wasn't a big deal to me, but if you hate having one million online profiles and don't already have a Microsoft account, you may consider going with some alternative software (Google docs if you have a Google account?). It feels unnecessary to point out that going with Office365 will not get you around this... As I said, I've only had this up and running for a few minutes now so I will try to remember to come back and update this, if necessary. My main goal here was to counter the accusations that caused me to seriously hesitate when purchasing this.

Not a problem downloading this program

I deleted my Office 2011 Microsoft program from my new computer. Then I purchased this from Amazon and downloaded it. I had no trouble at all. All my documents are openable on my new computer and my new Office programs. Don't be afraid to buy this.
