OFFICE 2026

The first step is to separate your Office 2024 license from Microsoft 365 prompts and the new Outlook experience. In Word, open File, Account and confirm Product Information says Office 2024 and Activated. Office 2024 receives security and quality updates, but not the continuing feature additions included with Microsoft 365; that is what no-new-features wording normally describes. A purchase prompt may come from a preinstalled Microsoft 365 trial, so capture its exact text before changing anything. If classic Outlook is included in your edition, you can switch back from new Outlook while the toggle is available. For OneDrive, do not rename an active synchronization root in File Explorer. Determine whether it is a personal or work account. You can unlink and relink to choose another location; a work account’s organization name may require an administrator policy and relinking. Please post the exact OneDrive warning if that does not resolve it.
