Ask Microsoft Anything: Upcoming changes to Office support – September 9, 2020
Join us Wednesday, September 9 for an opportunity to "Ask Microsoft Anything" (AMA) about upcoming changes to support for Office 2016 for Mac, Office 2010, and Office 2013 connectivity to Office 365 services. The AMA will take place from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM Pacific Time in the https://aka.ms/OfficeEOSAMA. To join, simply visit the Office End of Support AMA space at 9:00 a.m. PDT and submit a question by selecting Start a new conversation—then do this for each new question. More Information On October 13, 2020, Office 2016 for Mac and Office 2010 reach their end of support. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide technical support, bug fixes, or security updates for either version. Also, as previously https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2017/04/20/office-365-proplus-updates/, after October 13, 2020, customers will need to be using Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Office 2019, or https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/06/helping-customers-shift-to-a-modern-desktop/ in order to connect to Office 365 services. Microsoft will not take any active measures to block older versions of the Office client from connecting to Office 365 services, but these legacy clients may encounter performance and/or reliability issues over time. What is an AMA? An AMA is a live, online, text-based question-and-answer event similar to a "YamJam" on Yammer or an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit. Can’t attend at 9:00 AM Pacific Time? While we’ll only be answering questions in real-time from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, you can post your questions for the AMA to the https://aka.ms/OfficeEOSAMA in the Office End of Support Tech Community up to 24 hours in advance.
