Microsoft 365 Personal

Microsoft 365 Personal is a flexible subscription service that gives you access to the main Office apps, 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and regular feature updates. You can use it on your PC, Mac, tablet or phone: your files remain automatically synchronised, so you can collaborate in real time regardless of which device you are using. The software is compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS, iOS, Android and web browsers.

This subscription includes the latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher and Access (the latter only for Windows), along with premium features such as Editor in Word, Researcher and Designer in PowerPoint. It also provides 1,000 GB (1TB) of OneDrive cloud storage and advanced tools such as Clipchamp for video editing.

With multi-device synchronisation (up to 5 devices), Microsoft 365 Personal is perfect for individual users, students, freelancers and remote workers who need powerful productivity tools, cloud connectivity and seamless multi-platform access.

Need more users or family sharing? Try Microsoft 365 Family for up to 6 users with 6TB of total OneDrive storage (1TB per person).

IMPORTANT: Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product. If you are looking for a lifetime licence for Windows, check out Office 2024 Pro Plus or Office 2021 Pro Plus. If you are interested in a lifetime licence for Mac, consider Office 2024 for Mac or Office 2021 for Mac.

Microsoft 365 Personal vs Microsoft 365 Family: which should you choose?

Both subscriptions include the same Office apps and features, but Microsoft 365 Family is designed for families with multiple users. The Family subscription has these features:

• Supports up to 6 users (vs 1 user for Personal)
• 6TB of total OneDrive storage (1TB per person)
• Family safety features and shared calendars
• Better value for families

If, in light of this information, you are still unsure which subscription to choose, simply consider how many people will use Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365): if you are a single user using Microsoft 365 alone, then you should choose the Personal version; if instead you are sharing the subscription with other family members, the Family subscription offers better value for money.

Microsoft 365 Personal vs Office 2024: what is the difference?

In this case we are talking about a subscription licence, namely Microsoft 365, and the perpetual (lifetime) licence of Office 2024. Beyond this crucial division in terms of payment methodology and software use, there are also other differences that you can discover in the handy table below.

Office and Microsoft 365 Personal licences compared: which should you choose?

Below we compare the Microsoft 365 Personal licence with those of Office 2024 and Office 2021. In the first case we are talking about a subscription licence lasting one year, to be renewed from time to time, in the others instead perpetual licences, that is with one-off payment and unlimited use even offline, although they are versions with updates limited to security.

Choose Microsoft 365 Personal if you want to work in a constantly updated environment and on different devices. Opt for a lifetime Office licence instead if you use the software offline and only on one Windows or macOS device.
