Microsoft Office 2011 Mac 64 bit upgrade

I purchased Microsoft Office 2011 along with the purchase of my MacBook.  I did an upgrade yesterday only to find that Office 2011 will only run on 32 bit.  The upgrade now requires Microsoft Office to run on 64bit.  I read in many places that Microsoft has no intentions of supporting this upgrade so therefore, I can no longer safely use this software, that I purchased, on my mac.  Microsoft is forcing me to purchase something I have already purchased earlier.  I do not care if there are newer versions of Microsoft Office.  I purchased Office 2011 and Microsoft should still honor that purchase by providing the 64bit upgrade.  I contacted support thru their chat box and was only directed to this site where I can look up or post my own questions.  Really great customer support Microsoft! Thank-you! NOT.  I wish to have a refund or a product key to another Microsoft Office that will run on Mac at 64bit. I'll be holding my breath awaiting even more outstanding customer service.

    Why should Microsoft pay for your decision to toss away a perfectly good working version of Mac OS for one that doesn't work?

    10.14 supports 32-bit programs.  It's Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) that does not support 32-bit applications.

    When you open 32-bit applications in 10.14 you are warned that they will not work in future editions of Mac OS.

    Satire?  **** are you talking about?

    The dude's very serious.  And Microsoft is very seriously screwing their customers.

    I'm glad I finally switched to Apple products.  Not even Windows in this home.

    Thank you for the info.

    Is it possible to install and run Excel 2019 on the same machine as Excel 2011?  While I am working on ensuring that my application runs correctly in Excel 2019 (I am assuming I might have to make some adjustments), I want to continue using the 2011 version of my application.
