Hello, I have a iMac from late 2014 which we upgraded to macOS Big Sur. I downloaded the version MS Office 16.77 but the system always tells me that a macOS is required. But I learnt that MS Office 16.77 is compatible with macOS Big Sur. Can someone help me please. Thanks
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17
Microsoft only supports current releases (and installations) of Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 for Mac on macOS Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma. Attempts to install these, or older Microsoft Office for Mac suites on earlier versions of macOS will fail. You can contact Microsoft about this if you have additional questions.
Office for Mac v16.77 was compatible with macOS Big Sur — only when Microsoft supported that version of macOS.
Your alternatives for opening and revising your Microsoft documents on Big Sur without MS Office are limited:

Not correct, older versions while not available from the App Store, are available directly from Microsoft for download and install effortlessly. Installed versions continue working as before. In both cases, only Office updates fail because of outdated OSes (i.e. Microsoft autoupdate needs disabling),
