Microsoft 365 compability

Microsoft 365 seems not to be able to run with Mac OS High Sierra. Is there a work-around or can I upgrade to a newer version of OS on my iMAC 27-inch Mid 2010?

High Sierra is the end of the line for that iMac.


I've read elsewhere that even if you own an older version of Microsoft Office that will run on High Sierra (like Office 2008), that you can't activate it any more.


You might try looking in the LibreOffice archives. LibreOffice is a free, Open Source office suite that can work with many Microsoft Office documents.

If I remember correctly, LibreOffice 7.4.7 was compatible with High Sierra when it first came out. The requirement later changed to Mojave. Based on a note that said they were going to require Mojave starting in February 2023, I think 7.4.4.2 (whose archive directory is dated January 2023) might be the one to get.
