how do i move from microsoft 365 to classic

To move from a current Microsoft 365 plan (with Copilot) to the cheaper Classic version, use the downgrade path provided through subscription cancellation.

1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services and sign in with the Microsoft account used for the Microsoft 365 subscription.
2. Under Services & subscriptions, locate the Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription and select Manage.
3. Select Cancel subscription.
4. During the cancellation flow, look for the option to switch/downgrade to the Classic plan (for example, “Microsoft 365 Family Classic”) instead of fully cancelling. Choose that option and follow the prompts.

If the Classic option is not shown, complete the standard downgrade path for a plan with fewer features:

1. In the same Subscriptions page, select Manage for the current subscription.
2. Choose Cancel subscription.
3. On the Cancel page, select a plan with fewer features (the cheaper Classic option, if listed) and follow the instructions. The change may only take effect at the next renewal, and billing for the new plan starts when it renews into that plan.

If the subscription was purchased through a third-party billing partner (such as Apple App Store, Google Play, or a retail partner), subscription management (including switching plans) must be done through that partner’s support, starting from the Manage link next to the subscription at https://account.microsoft.com/services.
