Hello,
I am trying to buy a personal 365 subscription for my mother.
Currently, she is on my family plan, but I am cancelling that because I'm getting a subscription through my university instead. I saw when turning off autorenewel on my current plan that it was possible to get a subscription without copilot. My mum does not want and will never use any copilot features, so I wanted to get her that plan. However, when trying to create a new subscription for my mum on her account, this option was not available.
Is it possible to buy a personal 365 plan without copilot? Or is that option only available when you're changing a pre-existing plan?
Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.

Hi
Thats not true, My subscription was renewed with Co Pilot, for me its a nightmare, changes so much, and blocks and stop you doing what you used to. I eventually, was advise, how to get 365 Office without Co Pilot.
I totally agree, I have changed mine back to classic,
Microsoft should not auatoamticcaly include co-pilot in Office 365, I should have the option to renew without co-pilot without cancelling my subscription and at a lower price.
I cannot agree with you more. I know there are a miniscule handful of users that use Copilot, so give them that CHOICE. For the rest of use, let us get on with our work without the annoying intrusive Copilot that adds nothing to productivity or anything else, despite Microsoft's claims. As a writer I am so relieved that users have been given the option to disable Copilot in Word. Can you imagine how frustrated famous writers like the Nobel prize winner for literature, Ernest Hemingway, and others, such as Cormac McCarthy, would have been with the intrusive, and in reality, NOT so smart, Copilot. Writers live with the constant fear that with the next Windows update we will find that we can no loner disable the Copilot devil.

Yes, but you are paying more for the Copilot subscription, only to disable it !!
MS needs to make the actual subscription an option. There are all of these work-arounds posted --- renew with copilot, cancel, then start a new account, etc. It shouldn't be so difficult to find the non-Copilot option -- they keep it very well hidden.
