Take 20% off Microsoft Office 2024, no subscription needed

The latest version of Microsoft Office is here, and you can get it without a recurring subscription payment. Normally, Microsoft charges $150 for the base version of Office Home 2024, which is pretty hefty for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. But the official PCWorld software store has it for 20 percent off, just $119.99. This deal will only last for another two days, so hop on it quick.

This digital copy of Office Home works with Windows 10 or 11, or even macOS if that’s your thing. The latest versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint pack in a ton of new features like a refined user interface, better support for OpenDocument Format, improved accessibility tools, and streamlined integration with mobile, like the ability to plop a photo into a document on your desktop right from your phone.

This standalone version of Office will be updated for functionality and security, but it won’t be getting constant feature updates. And it doesn’t include the full version of Outlook (though you can get one that does with a $20 discount). But at $120 for a “forever” license that never needs to be renewed, it’s a much better deal than the Microsoft 365 system, which starts at a hefty $99.99 a year.

Again, this deal is only available for two more days, ending on Thursday, October 31. Spooky.
