Windows 10: Keeping Office 2016 during Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro upgrade?

Sorry if this is a noob question but I haven't been able to find a clear answer to this on Google... My workplace (small business) has an all-in-one HP computer with Windows 10 Home and Office Home & Business 2016. We're about to install a new software that requires Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise, so we need to upgrade. My question is : will we be able to keep Office 2016? Our business email is on Outlook so we really want to keep all our data. I imagine the upgrade will not affect this, but I just want to make sure before we go ahead. Thanks in advance!

I agree with this. No one is stopping me from using my purchased 2007 Office. Works just great for my needs 11 years later.

I can understand why MS would want to shed many versions of window support for office that doesn't play well with Win 10 coding. I'm all for moving forward to create a better user experience. Might finally upgrade and keep Office 2019 for 10 years until 2029 to make it worth it again. *Big Grin

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is designing Office 2019 to work with Windows 10 instead a gimped version that is unstable or missing features in older outdated OS releases.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.

File compatibility maybe ?. Thankfully i don't have to use it and can just use some thing like Open Office if need be.
