No, you cannot install "Office Home 2024 (1 x, Unlimited)" on an iPad Pro 11 to use Word or other Office applications. Here's why:
- Single purchase versions of Office, such as Office Home & Student, cannot be installed on mobile devices. They only work on PCs or Macs.
- To use Word, Excel, or PowerPoint on an iPad Pro, you need to use the Microsoft mobile apps available on the App Store. However, for iPad Pros with a screen larger than 10.1 inches, you need an active subscription to Microsoft 365 to access all the editing features.
No, not all users with an account on the notebook can use the Office applications with this licence. The licence is valid for 1 user and 1 device, but on a device with multiple Windows accounts, Office can typically be used by all accounts as it is bound to the device. There are conflicting opinions: Some sources say it is strictly limited to one user and everyone needs a separate licence.
No, Microsoft Defender is not included in Office Home 2024 as it requires a subscription like Microsoft 365. You do not need to install your own virus protection as the pre-installed Windows Defender (integrated in Windows) is sufficient to protect your computer against viruses and malware. Third-party software such as McAfee or Avast is not necessary.
The main differences to the Office 365 (Microsoft 365) version are that this software is offered as a one-off purchase without cloud services and without regular feature updates. Security updates and bug fixes are provided during the supported period, but new functions can only be obtained by purchasing a new version. There are no regular software updates in the sense of function or feature updates, only security and stability updates.
Microsoft Office Home 2024 (1 User, 1 Device) is not natively compatible with Chromebooks because it is designed for Windows and macOS operating systems. You cannot install the full desktop version on a Chromebook. However, you can use Microsoft Office web apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) via a browser on a Chromebook, which requires an internet connection. The Android versions of Office apps are currently not supported on Chromebooks either.
There is a separate Microsoft Office 2024 version specifically for iPad, Chromebook, and mobile devices that includes the full Office suite as web or app-based solutions, but this is distinct from the desktop Office Home 2024 product.

What worked:
Make sure there’s no MS Teams running/installed (this automatically associates you having the MS 365 license key). With MS Teams, it will not recognize/link/activate the license key for MS Office 2024.
Well, that depends on how old your current version is. If it is only 2 years old, you can probably wait a little longer. Also, the difference between these 2 versions will not be dramatic. If you don't need to produce very complex documents then you can probably wait and see. However, you should also bear in mind that MS does not really release its Office Suite every year.
You can start using Microsoft Office Home 2024 on your Windows 10 PC, then transfer it to your new Windows 11 PC when you get it. However, as the licence is for 1 user and 1 device, you must first uninstall Office from the old PC before installing and activating it on the new one. You can manage this via your Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/services, where you can download and activate Office on the new device after uninstalling it from the old one.
You can reinstall the software on a new device if you change device, for example in the event of a breakdown. However, you can only do this once every 90 days, except in the event of a hardware failure. You must delete the software from the old device and not keep any copies.
No, with this licence you can only install and use the software on one device, either a Windows PC or a Mac, but not both simultaneously. The licence is valid for 1 user and 1 device only.
The main difference between Microsoft Office Home 2024 and Microsoft Office Home + Student 2021 lies in the functions and licensing. Here are some of the key differences:
- User authorisation: Office Home + Student 2021 is licensed for home and school use, while Office Home 2024 is for home use only.
- Applications: Office Home 2024 also includes OneNote, which is not included in Office Home + Student 2021.
- User interface and performance: Office 2024 offers a modernised user interface and improved performance compared to Office 2021.
- Collaboration and file formats: Office 2024 supports better collaboration and more modern file formats.

It will be a one-off purchase version (perpetual licence) for private users and small companies. In contrast to LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel), there will be regular function updates until the next main release. Unfortunately, LTSC is only available as volume licences for companies.
I would also have preferred an LTSC licence without this cloud / AI bells and whistles. You have to switch it off or uninstall it individually. You have to download the software relatively laboriously via setup.office.com and enter the purchased key. The product (Office Home 2024) then appears in the personal connected MSA (Microsoft Account) with the price USD$0.00.
No, the version "Office Home 2024 (1 x, unlimited)" with the product ID "EP2-06798" does not include Microsoft Teams. This version includes the classic desktop applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, but no additional services such as Microsoft Teams, which are typically provided with a Microsoft 365 subscription.
If you have the "Office Home 2024" product and later realised that it does not include Outlook, there are a few options to get Outlook or a more comprehensive Office version:
## Upgrade to Office Home & Business 2024
You can upgrade from "Office Home 2024" to "Office Home & Business 2024". This version includes Outlook in addition to the classic Office apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. However, this requires the purchase of the entire "Office Home & Business 2024" suite, as there is no option to add just Outlook as an upgrade.
## Purchase Outlook as a separate full version
There is no official way to purchase just Outlook as a separate full version without purchasing the entire Office suite. Microsoft usually only offers Outlook as part of a more comprehensive Office version, such as in "Office Home & Business 2024" or as part of a Microsoft 365 subscription.
## Microsoft 365 subscription
Another option would be to purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription, which includes Outlook as well as other Office apps and additional services such as 1 TB of OneDrive storage and Microsoft support. However, this is a subscription and not a one-time purchase option.
After purchasing the licence for "Office Home 2024 (1 x, unlimited)" you can download the software as follows
- Go to the website www.office.com and sign in with the Microsoft account you used to activate the licence.
- If you are already signed in, select the option "Install Office" or "Install apps" to start the download.
Regarding the software updates:
- With the licence for "Office Home 2024", you will receive five years of updates that fix bugs and other problems, but do not add any new functions. After these five years, no further updates will be provided, but the applications will continue to work.
