Dear Bruce,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community

From your description, I understand that you want to install office 2007 in windows 11, please point out if my understanding is wrong.

May I ask what version of Office 2021 you have purchased? If you ordered the Home and Student edition, then it is true that your office 2021 does not include Outlook Classic, New outlook is now an email applet similar to the Mail application.

Yes, you can install the 2007 version of the office component package on your computer. But while activating, make sure that you activate your office software separately using the correct key. Also, since office 2007 component pack is already an older product, it may have some compatibility issues with the latest windows systems.

I wish you all the best
