Microsoft Office 2019 Windows 7 Compatibility

by

Windows 10 might have surpassed Windows 7 in terms of global market share, but Microsoft is giving holdouts another reason to upgrade. The company has revealed that only those PCs running the latest version of its OS will be able to run the upcoming Office 2019, which was announced back in September.

In yesterday’s support article update, Microsoft said the beta apps for the next version of Office will arrive in the second quarter of this year, with the final version due in the second half of 2018. But when they do launch, PC owners who want the latest standalone Office apps, rather than the subscription-based Office 365, need either Windows 10 or the next Long-Term Servicing version of Windows Server.

The news is unlikely to be welcomed by the large number of businesses around the world who, for reasons such as cost and compatibility issues, still haven’t upgraded to Windows 10.

Office 2019 as a standalone product is only compatible with Windows 10 Microsoft have now taken to only calling Office 365 products by their name rather than labeling with the year when it is installed e.g. 365 Word is now just called 'Word' and not 'Word 2016'. Project 2019, Visio 2019, Access 2019, and Publisher 2019 are for Windows only. Office 2019 customers will get access to OneNote. For more details, see here. Compatible with Windows 10 or later. For complete requirements for PC and Mac, see system requirements. This plan works with Office 2019, Office 2016, and Office 2013. All of the best Microsoft Office applications are bundled with the Microsoft Office 2019 Home & Business for Windows PC. Business owners and their families will enjoy using OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and other applications from any time they need to. It boasts of brand-new features and an updated look! Office 2019 will have one big system requirement when it goes into preview next quarter: Windows 10. Just as Microsoft tied support for the latest microprocessors to Windows 10, Office 2019 will.

The move won’t affect Office for Mac, which is a separate product with a different release schedule, reports The Verge.

Additionally, Office 2019 is getting a shorter period of extended support. Like previous versions of Office, it will come with five years of standard support, but the extended support is being dropped from five extra years to just two. This will bring its end of life date to October 10, 2025, the same day that extended support for Microsoft Office 2016, the last version of the suite, ends.

It will feature a slew of improvements, including new inking features such as pressure sensitivity, ink replay, and tilt effects, as well as new formulas and charts in Excel and visual animation features for PowerPoint presentations. There will also be server enhancements that improve IT manageability, voice, usability, and security.

As reported yesterday, Microsoft changed the way how they license Windows 10 to their OEM partners. But buckle in folks, the changes just keep on coming. In what looks like an effort to push Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 owners to upgrade, Microsoft has officially announced that Office 2019 will only work on machines with Windows 10 and the next LTSC release of Windows Server. That's only the tip of the iceberg though. Unlike previous version of Office that came with 10 years of support, Office 2019's support lifecycle is shortened to five years of mainstream support and two years of extended support. Additionally, the client applications are only available with a Click-to-Run installer. However, Microsoft will continue to provide a MSI installer for the server applications.

I don't see how this pushes anyone to upgrade. There really isn't any need to 'buckle in'. Users are always free to keep using Windows XP (wat), Windows 7, Windows whatever and any version of office released while in mainstream support. Office 2010, 2013, and Office 2016 work great. Windows 7 works fine. Windows 8 works fine. Windows 10 works fine. Each OS version, just like the competition, have flaws or annoyances. Always have, always will. No need to sit around and whine - if you don't like the OS you use feel free to write your own and see how it goes.
Microsoft is designing Office 2019 to work with Windows 10 instead a gimped version that is unstable or missing features in older outdated OS releases. It is really simple.
