How do I download and install Microsoft Office on Windows 11?

Microsoft Office is a paid software suite. If you have a license, just go to the Office 365 website to download and activate it. If you don’t have a license, consider trying some free alternatives instead.

Didn’t Microsoft move to a subscription model? You might need to purchase it with a valid key, but sometimes older versions are fine if you can locate one. Alternatively, you could use LibreOffice for free; it’s mostly compatible with Microsoft formats, though you might encounter some formatting issues. Just remember that you can save files in Microsoft-friendly formats with LibreOffice.

By the way, if you have a .edu email from your school, check if they’ve provided you with an Office 365 account. Use that email to log into the Microsoft site, and look for an 'Install Apps' button to download Office.

If you're looking for direct downloads, here are a few links:
