Microsoft Word 2021 for Windows

Only need a word processor? Buy Word on its own and skip paying for spreadsheets you will never open.

What is included

Office 2021 Standalone installs Word on one Windows PC. This is the classic desktop release: the applications live on your machine, open offline, and receive security updates from Microsoft for the life of the product.

• Word 2021 — documents, co-authoring, Editor suggestions and PDF editing

Who this edition suits

Users who only need this single application and prefer a one-time purchase.

Installation and activation

After checkout you receive a product key and a direct download link from Microsoft. Installation takes about ten minutes on a typical connection; activation is a single step inside any Office app. Our support team is available by phone and email if you prefer to be walked through it.

License terms

Perpetual license for one device. The key activates once and can be re-activated on the same machine after a reinstall. Moving to a new computer requires a new license.
