Need to install Microsoft Office for free on Windows 10? There is an easy way to do this, thanks to the web version of the office suite which offers the same functionality, and the ability of Microsoft Edge to install sites as apps on your computer.
The cheapest boxed version of the 2021 Microsoft Office suite costs $ 149 on the Microsoft Store. And yet, there is a 100% free and legal way to get all of the suite's applications on your Windows 10 computer. Microsoft has indeed followed Google's lead by releasing a free version of its suite in the cloud. The difference with Google Docs is that Microsoft's web applications take over almost all of the functionality of “real” Windows applications.
Suddenly, if you have access to the internet, a Microsoft account and a Windows 10 PC you can, thanks to a trick, have the same result as if you had bought the suite, but without paying anything. All thanks to the magic of progressive web apps.

How to install Microsoft Office for free on Windows 10
Here's how to do it:

As with Google Docs you get OneDrive online storage for your documents. The free version of Office 365 immediately offers 5 GB which is already sufficient to store many documents in the suite. Note that in any case you can still save your files on the hard drive. And even export the documents to other formats, including PDF and open equivalents of Office files.
Finally, remember that the full version of Office 365 is also available. Unlike Web Apps, you don't need to be logged in to use it and the suite gives you access to, among other things, 1 TB of space on OneDrive per person. You can subscribe to it via the link below:
