Whether you need the full professional suite for a business workstation, a lightweight option for everyday home use, or a volume licence for multiple machines, this category has every edition of Microsoft Office 2021 built for Windows — all at competitive prices.

What Is Microsoft Office 2021 for PC?

Microsoft Office 2021 is the latest perpetual (one-time purchase) release of Microsoft’s productivity suite for Windows. Unlike Microsoft 365, there is no recurring subscription — you pay once and own the licence permanently. Office 2021 was released in October 2021 and is supported by Microsoft with security updates until October 2026.

All editions run natively on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and include meaningful upgrades over Office 2019, including improved dark mode support, updated collaboration features in Word and Excel, new functions in Excel (XLOOKUP, XMATCH, LET, and more), and enhanced performance across the board.

Microsoft Office 2021 PC Editions — Which One Do You Need?

Office 2021 for Windows is available in several editions, each targeting a different type of user. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose:

Office 2021 Professional Plus

Office 2021 Professional Plus is the most complete edition of Office 2021 for Windows. It includes the full suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, Publisher, Teams, and Skype for Business. This is the edition used by businesses, IT departments, and power users who need every tool in the Office ecosystem. It is also the edition most commonly deployed in corporate environments.

If you need more than one install, the Office 2021 Professional Plus 5 PC bundle provides significant per-device savings. For enterprises and IT resellers, the Office 2021 Pro Plus LTSC (Multiple Activation Key) supports large-scale deployment across dozens or hundreds of machines.

Office 2021 Standard

Office 2021 Standard is a trimmed-down version of Professional Plus. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Publisher — but does not include Access. It suits small businesses and office workers who don’t require database management tools. The Office 2021 Standard 3 Device licence is a cost-efficient option for households or small teams needing to cover multiple PCs.

Office 2021 Home and Business (PC)

Office 2021 Home and Business for PC includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote — covering all the essential productivity applications for home workers, freelancers, and small business owners. This edition is sold as a retail bind-to-Microsoft-account licence, meaning it is tied to your Microsoft account rather than a single device, making it easy to reinstall.

Office 2021 Home and Student (PC)

Office 2021 Home and Student for PC is the entry-level edition, covering Word, Excel, and PowerPoint only — no Outlook. It is designed for students and home users who primarily need document creation, spreadsheet work, and presentations, without email or advanced business tools.

Office 2021 LTSC Editions

The Office 2021 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) editions are designed specifically for businesses and organisations that require a stable, infrequently updated deployment. LTSC builds do not receive feature updates — only security patches — making them ideal for regulated industries, medical environments, or enterprise setups where software stability is critical. Available in both single-PC and 3-device configurations.

System Requirements for Office 2021 on Windows PC

Before purchasing, confirm your PC meets these minimum requirements for Microsoft Office 2021:

• Operating System: Windows 10 (version 1909 or later) or Windows 11
• Processor: 1.6 GHz dual-core or faster
• RAM: 4 GB (64-bit); 2 GB (32-bit)
• Storage: 4 GB of available disk space
• Display: 1280 × 768 screen resolution
• Internet: Required for initial activation; not required for ongoing use

Note: Office 2021 is not supported on Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you need a compatible Office version for an older system, consider Office 2019 or Office 2016. If your current Windows version needs upgrading, browse our Windows 11 licences or Windows 10 licences.

Office 2021 vs Office 2024 — Should You Upgrade?

If you’re deciding between Office 2021 and the newer Office 2024, here’s what you need to know:

• Office 2021 is a proven, stable release with mainstream support until October 2026. It is an excellent choice for users who want reliable Office tools at a lower price point.
• Office 2024 includes additional performance improvements, refreshed UI elements, and a broader set of built-in AI features. It is the better long-term investment for users who want the most current perpetual release and extended support through 2029.

Both are perpetual licences — no subscription, no renewal. If budget is a priority and your needs are covered by the 2021 feature set, Office 2021 for PC remains one of the best-value productivity suites available. If you’re looking to future-proof your setup, browse Office 2024 PC editions.
