Microsoft 365 (Office) subscriptions

Discover our range of Microsoft 365 (Office) subscriptions

Juggling files across a laptop, tablet, and phone becomes easier when the same apps and cloud storage follow you around. A Microsoft 365 subscription brings Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and more to multiple devices, with your documents synced so you can pick up where you left off at home, on the train, or in a lecture theatre.

Spec decoding: plans are built around people rather than single machines. Personal covers one user across several devices, Family extends that to a household, and there are business tiers for collaboration and compliance needs. Each plan includes ongoing feature updates, cloud storage, and web versions of the apps alongside desktop and mobile ones, so you are not stuck waiting for a boxed next version��_.

In daily use the benefits are practical. AutoSave and version history help you recover changes, shared links replace bulky email attachments, and templates keep routine work tidy. If you swap between Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android, or the web, your fonts, layouts, and comments travel with the file, which reduces the time you spend fixing formatting.

Care and security tip: turn on two-step verification for your Microsoft account, and use password-protected sharing when you send links to sensitive files. If you are working on a slow connection, switch a folder to available offline��_ in the OneDrive app, then let it resync when you are back on decent Wi-Fi.

Availability note: check Currys for current Microsoft 365 options and device requirements, then choose the plan that fits how many people will use it. Availability and pricing vary by region and plan.

Is there a lifetime version of Microsoft 365?

No. Microsoft 365 is a subscription service with monthly or yearly billing. Perpetual one-time licences exist for stand-alone Office releases, which are separate products.

How is Microsoft 365 different from Office 2021?

Microsoft 365 includes ongoing updates, cloud services, and multi-device use for a subscription fee. Office 2021 is a single purchase of the apps as they were at release, with no new features added later.

Can I use Microsoft 365 offline?

Yes. Installed desktop and mobile apps work offline, then sync when you reconnect. You will need periodic internet access to verify the subscription and to use cloud features.

How many devices can I use with Microsoft 365 Personal?

Personal is for one person using multiple devices. You can install the apps on several devices and sign in with your account, subject to the plan's terms.
