How to install microsoft office on your mac

There is no doubt that Microsoft's Office office suite is the most powerful that has existed for many years on the market and that, in addition, its use is the most widespread both for business, education and private users. Therefore, if you are thinking of getting a Mac and not a Windows PC, today we are going to tell you how to install Office on your Mac, so you can continue with your tasks as you have been doing until now, even when you have changed OS.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint… also on your Mac

If you've just taken the step to switch to Mac, you're probably still worried about things like "will I be able to use the same programs I used to on my computer before?" The answer is yes, in most cases. One of the applications that probably worries you the most is Word and, in general, the entire Microsoft Office office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook). The truth is that there are numerous alternatives to these tools such as Open Office Writer or, without going any further, Apple's own iWork office suite that integrates Pages, Numbers, and Keynote , while the mail manager we already have installed by default, Mail , although I would dare to recommend a much more powerful and functional email manager such as Spark . In any case, if you prefer to continue maintaining your bond with those of the windows, you can install Microsoft Office on your Mac without any problem and very quickly and easily.

To download and install Microsoft Officen on your Mac, the first thing you should do is choose between the option that you prefer and that best suits your needs. Microsoft offers us up to four options:

• Office 365 Home (subscription of € 99.00 per year or € 10.00 per month) that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, 1 TB of cloud storage in OneDrive per user and possibility to use on 5 Macs o PCs, 5 iPads and 5 iPhones. Office 365 Personal (subscription of € 69.00 per year or € 7.00 per month) that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, 1 TB of cloud storage in OneDrive and installation on 1 Mac or PC, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone, making it ideal for individual users. Office Home and Student 2016 for Mac (one-time payment of € 149.00) that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, to be installed on a single Mac computer and used without cloud storage or synchronization of your files with other computers. Office Home and Business 2016 for Mac (one-time payment of € 279.00) that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, to be installed on a single Mac and used without cloud storage or synchronization of your files with others equipment.

You can see all the options for Microsoft Office for Mac on the Microsoft website. Once you have chosen the desired product:

• Click on the blue "Buy" button that you see on the Microsoft page that I just mentioned. Continue with the purchase, payment and download process as indicated. Once the package is downloaded, locate the installation package on your Downloads folder, double click and follow the usual installation process as if it were any other app.

Install Office on your Mac "free"?

Obviously, it is also possible to get the Microsoft Office office suite completely free of charge, however, this is not a legal method. There are different web pages from which, either by direct download, or by torrent, you can download and install a version of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac already "with a wooden leg" and "free", and use it normally in your Mac.

For obvious reasons, from Professional Review we are not going to provide any link of this type, although I am sure that it is not necessary, right? ? Remember that this method is illegal and you can infect your computer with viruses and malicious software . In the event that you cannot acquire Office, there are other interesting options on the market that are 100% free like LibreOffice.
