About this licence
Office Home & Student 2021 gives a family or a student Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote on one Windows PC for a single payment, with Microsoft security updates running until October 2026. It is licensed for personal use — coursework, household admin, hobby projects — and it does not include Outlook or commercial rights.
If you are replacing an expired trial on a new laptop and simply want the apps you already know, this is the lowest-cost route that is still inside Microsoft's support window. The key is redeemed at setup.office.com and remains tied to your Microsoft account, so a later reinstall needs no new purchase.
What you get
- Core apps for homework and home admin
- Security updates until October 2026
- One-time purchase for one Windows PC
- Genuine 25-character product key plus the official download link
- Setup help by phone or e-mail, included

Office Home line — 2019 vs 2021 vs 2024
The home edition was called "Home & Student" until 2021 and simply "Office Home" from 2024. Same idea each time: the core apps, bought once, for one PC or Mac.

Dates are Microsoft's published lifecycle dates. "Security updates until" is the date after which Microsoft stops patching that version; the software keeps activating and working after it.
