Version: What Office version to use in combination with Microsoft 365?

  • Last updated on May 12, 2021 at 3:47 PM

When using Microsoft 365 you generally have access to the latest and greatest Office version. But they only become available if you install your Office using CTR (Click-To-Run). We therefore highly recommend installing Office via CTR, using one of the more timely channels.

Office installations via MSI are not recommended as they are not updated with feature updates at all. So for instance the 2019 MSI Office version is roughly equal to the Q1 2018 version of Office CTR. This means it's almost a year old before you can first install the MSI version on your devices.
