Microsoft has officially cut off support for legacy versions of its classic desktop suites, including Office 2016 and Office 2019. To make matters more urgent, Office 2021 is also rapidly approaching its final end-of-support deadline.

What does this mean for you? Continuing to use an outdated, unsupported version of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint means your computer will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or vulnerability updates—leaving your personal data wide open to malware and hackers. In this video, we break down exactly what "End of Support" means for your PC, how to check which version you are currently running, and the best ways to fix it.

We’ll also cover free, safe alternatives to Microsoft 365 so you don't have to break the bank just to type a document!
