Windows 10: Office 2019 Business Full 1 PC License (and old Publisher)

Windows 10 (PC) version 20H2 Build 19042.985 Hi. Right from the start, this topic has nothing to do with any of the Microsoft 365 SUBSCRIPTIONS plans. Everything that I am writing here is in regards to the traditional PC license(s) for one computer. So now that's out of the way. My wife has a PC that is currently running Office 2010. Yea, I know. A dinosaur but it still works great. She wants to upgrade to Office 2019 but the Business license does not come with Publisher. She would have to buy the Pro license but that's over $480 including taxes. That's just not going to work with our budget. Now of course she could just buy the Business license and Publisher license separately but then that will still comes to be a little over $400 including taxes. Not practical. So hears my questions: Is it possible for her to install Office 2019 Business license, then uninstall all of Office 2010 apps except for Publisher?? In other words, can she just keep Publisher on her computer and get rid of the rest of the old Office 2010 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Access)??

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

Hi Deborah

Ideally, you should totally remove Office 2013 before installing Office 2019 . . .

However, please be aware you would loose some Office applications, because Office 2019 only contains Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint, you would loose Access and Publisher

If you want to run both versions on your PC, that is perfectly fine, the only problem you may encounter is file associations, where Word and Excel files may try to open in the wrong version . . .
