I'm looking to install Office 2021 (32-bit version) on an older computer that I'm planning to lend to my younger brother for his schoolwork. However, I'm struggling to find a free installation method. Any suggestions?

There's a good chance that your brother's school provides free access to Microsoft Office for students. It might be worth asking about that option!
Unfortunately, there aren't any free versions of Microsoft Office available anymore. However, if your brother has a college email, he might be able to get a student edition of Office for free from his university. It's worth checking out!
You might want to consider using LibreOffice instead. It's a free alternative to Microsoft Office and works similarly. Plus, 32-bit applications should run just fine on modern PCs, so you shouldn't have any issues with that!
If you're open to trying something different, consider installing Linux and using LibreOffice. It's free and can give the old PC a new life, plus Linux Mint looks and feels quite like older versions of Windows!
You could also just install LibreOffice on Windows itself if you prefer sticking with that.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check out LibreOffice.
