Office 2016 by ()

I have Office 2013 on my home PC, but I needed one for my laptop. Enter Office 2016. Installation was super easy. I simply opened the trial version of Office on my laptop and entered the key number from the card. That automatically sent me to the Office site for installation. I hit the install button, which didn’t take long at all.

2016 primarily uses OneDrive, which is cloud-based. I need that, because my laptop has an SSD, not a lot of memory. As soon as I opened up 2016, the files from OneDrive popped up. After downloaded my file, I discovered collaborative editing wasn’t going to work because Office 2013 doesn’t have that feature. I could read only or merge. It also saves files to my computer, so when I hit the save button, the file went to my computer instead of the cloud.

Overall, I like Microsoft Office better than LibreOffice. My kids use LibreOffice because I don’t want to splurge on Microsoft Office for their computers. LibreOffice is fine for light word processing, but it doesn’t work nearly as smoothly as Microsoft Office. If working on word processing software is your job, spring for Microsoft Office.
