I have a MacBook Air 2013 running Mojave and Office 2011 and Im trying to upgrade. Supposedly Catalina will run on it but not BigSur. Is that right?
Then I need to upgrade Office and have a purchased copy of Office 2019. However Im getting mixed reports of whether this will run on Catalina. Will it run or not? If not, does that mean I need to get hold of Office 2016 - presumably with the 64 bit updates?
Thanks
Earlier Mac models
Office 2019 for Mac was retired as of Oct 10, 2023. Microsoft currently supports new installations of Microsoft 365 on macOS Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma. If you try to install Office 2019 for Mac on earlier operating systems, the Microsoft license servers will reject it.
If that 2013 Air only has 4GB Ram, I would not install Catalina or Big Sur on it as the later operating systems are much larger than Mojave and you won't be happy about the performance lag.
Consider Softmaker's Office 2024 for Mac (free trial) for Mojave, or the free LibreOffice Suite v7.5.8 (last for Mojave). Either of these will be compatible with your existing Microsoft documents.
MacOS Catalina and MS Office 2019
