office365 App download/installation for macOS Big Sur 11.7.10

Anonymous

I have just tried to download and install the office365 apps, but received the notification that the install needs Mac OS 12. I am running Mac OS 11. But can't seem to find the office365 download version for os11. From where can I install the latest office365 apps for my MacBook running Big Sur 11.7.10?

For some reason I am unable to upload a screenshot of the error message. So the error message reads:

Software Requirement

This software requires macOS version 12.0 or later.

Thanks

Timo

Same trouble here - my child's MacBook Air can't be upgraded to Monterey, so I could not install from office.com or the Appstore.

But thanks to the www, I found a way.

Have a look here: https://macadmins.software/

There I found a list of versions available. Version 16.77 should run on Big Sur and there is a link to the installer for the suite (https://officecdnmac.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/MacAutoupdate/Microsoft_365_and_Office_16.77.23091003_Installer.pkg)

I downloaded the installer and ran on 11.7.9 Big Sur.

Good Luck!

Der Hennie, you are an absolute life saver. After doing online chats and a phone call with tech support with Microsoft for over an hour, I was told I NEEDED to upgrade to MacOS 12 or higher (Monterey, Ventura, or Sonoma). But my computer is from 2014 and doesn't support any of those operating systems. So I called apple, and was basically told the same thing and need to buy a new computer. I have papers due and I am 2 weeks away from university finals, and I depend on using Word and Excel. I was just about to go to best buy to shell out for a new computer when I found this post. You saved the day!! THANK YOU!!!!

You are the man Der Hennie. Microsoft owes you money for doing their job!
