    Hi,

    Regarding the point mentioned in the Q&A: you would not be able to keep using Word and Excel after your 365 subscription expires; you would need to purchase an Office license (such as the 2024 version) or renew your 365 subscription.

    You can use the free web version at the link below:

    Please consider rating the question (accepting the answer or not) and visiting the Microsoft Q&A community if you have further questions.

    Thanks.

    Microsoft 365 for home is a subscription. If it is canceled, the subscription benefits end, including the premium desktop apps that come with it.

    To cancel:

    1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/microsoft365 and sign in with the same Microsoft account used to buy the subscription.
    2. Select Cancel subscription. It might appear as Upgrade or Cancel.
    3. Review the page, then select I don't want my subscription to confirm.

    If Cancel subscription is not shown and Turn on recurring billing appears instead, the subscription is already set to expire on the date shown and no further action is required.

    If the subscription was bought through Google Play, Apple App Store, or a third-party retailer such as Amazon, cancellation must be handled with that seller.

    Important effect of canceling:

    • Storage drops to 5 GB of cloud storage and 15 GB of Outlook.com storage.
    • If it was a Family or Premium subscription, shared users also lose the higher storage allowance.

    The provided information does not include a way to cancel Microsoft 365 and keep Word and Excel as paid premium apps separately under the same subscription.

    AI-generated content may be incorrect. Read our transparency notes for more information.
