How To Get Microsoft Office Totally Free Forever

Some Free Microsoft Office Options Last Longer than Others

If you have been wondering what is the best way to get Microsoft Office for free or about cost free ways to get individual packages within Microsoft Office such as Excel, Word, Outlook or PowerPoint, then here we will show you how.

There are actually several ways to use Microsoft Office for free such as getting a month's free trial with Microsoft 365 or if you are eligible for cost-free student and education licenses. What both these methods have in common is that they are not forever solutions. With the Microsoft 365 free trial you get to use the software for gratis for the first month, but if you forget to cancel your credit card details then you will be charged after that month. Or, if you opt for one of the free educational or student Office licenses then you need to remember that you are not going to be in education forever.

Don't Worry about this!

So what is the best way to get Microsoft Office for free forever?

The Best Way to get Microsoft Office Totally Free Forever (and Legally)

Microsoft now give away their lightweight Office 365 alternative (known as Office Online or as Office for the Web) for absolutely nothing. What's best, you don't just get Online versions of the traditional Office packages which have been around for years for free, you also get for free a bunch of Office 365 Apps such as OneNote, OneDrive, Sway and Forms. You even get access to a decent chunk of the royalty free stock images which are available with a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Whilst this is not a free download for Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint and so forth, it is arguably better because you can use your free Office for the Web / Office Online apps on any device from just one seamless account meaning that your documents are available for you to work on everywhere you go along with the software itself. You can also download your documents if you like or save them to OneDrive.

Follow these simple steps to get Microsoft Office totally free:

Step One: Sign Up

Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web and click 'Sign up for free'.

Step Two: Register

Create your Office for the Web /Office Online account and complete the registration process.

Step Three: Sign In

Step Four: Explore

Click on the top-left corner icon (App Launcher).

And then go to 'All Apps' (at the bottom of the list) to have a look around and see all the Microsoft Applications that you just got totally for free.

Does Office for the Web give you full versions of the software?

With the free version of Office for the Web you don't get absolutely all the features of the commercial software but you do get enough for it to be incredibly feature rich. For instance, with the free Excel Online version you get almost all the features you can possibly imagine and absolutely all of the functions right up to the latest. However, you don't get capabilities such as Advanced Filtering, Goal Seek, Solver, Scenarios or Sparklines.
