Installing new MS Office Home & Business 2021 on my new MacBook Pro

I am trying to install Office Home & Business 2021 on my new MacBook Pro. I click on the OfficeSetup.exe file and it says You can’t open the application “OfficeSetup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS. I had Office 2016 on my old Mac so there has to be a way to install it as it says it is compatible with macOS.


Any advice?

Where did you obtain the OfficeSetup.exe file? .exe indicates a Windows application.


The following has instructions for downloading from Microsoft and installing on a Mac: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/download-and-install-or-reinstall-microsoft-365-or-office-2021-on-a-pc-or-mac-4414eaaf-0478-48be-9c42-23adc4716658#InstallSteps=Install_on_a_Mac
