Windows 10: Microsoft Office

I am still in the dark ages using Microsoft Office 2013. If I upgrade to a newer version, do I have to use the cloud to store everything or can I store it on my own NAS?

Desktop background gone black after a few minutes of use on laptop.

Hi I am a Windows User / Microsoft User.

I have a problem with my laptop when I use it for a while (about 5-10 minutes) the taskbar goes black and when i close the applications I had open my whole desktop background and taskbar goes black and i have to reset my computer all the time (I have tried
to watch youtube videos on how to fix it but it talks about the explorer having to be named explorer.exe and I already had that.

Please contact me if you find a resolution.)

Thanks Windows User/Microsoft User

Microsoft Office

You don't load Office to each user. The programs are loaded once and shared by all users. However, each user will have their own configuration set-ups and data files. Office will be available in All Apps under Microsoft Office.

 

Of course you can store everything on local devices with any version of Office.

 

Love the signature Kari. I totally agree. Thanks for the response. I guess what worries me is the monthly fee. Is that only if you use the cloud storage?

 

I do not understand your question? If you buy a retail version of Office, there is no monthly fee. If you subscribe to Office365, there is a monthly or yearly fee. Subscription always includes the latest version of Office desktop applications, at the moment Office 2016.

 

Why do you wand to upgrade to 2016? I still run office XP and I am not missing anything, as far as I can tell

It's not 2016 I have in mind. A few of the businesses I deal with are using 2010 and there are a few changes in formatting of which they take advantage. I would like to be up to speed with them.

 

I don't have that problem, so disregard my post

Thanks, Kari. You have cleared up a misconception of mine.

 

you can store most anything anywhere that's available..
- Cyberlink has a cloud facility as well..

 

Thanks to all for the suggestions. As for the storage, I think my NAS is quite sufficient.

 

Did you mean to say you are using Office 2003? You mention wanting to be up to speed with clients who are using 2010.

If that is the case, you can find legit licenses for Office 2010 or 2013 online for a very low price, even as low as $20 and $30 respectively. Forums like this, which offer FS/FT sections are a great place to look.

 

Thanks, DeaconFrost. However, I am not clear on the meaning of FS/FT. Is that For Sale/For Trade?

 

Yep, that's it. I am a long long time member at the [H]ardForums, and they routinely have people selling legit keys for very cheap.
