*There's a free Microsoft Office option for Windows now, but it comes with ads* * This is apparently a "limited test", whateverthat means, so the procedure outlined below may or may not give you access to the Office apps for free. * You'll get a banner ad constantly, as well as a video ad every few hours. You also can't save files locally, only to OneDrive. And finally, you are very limited in what you can do with these free versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. * The way to get them is download Office from the Microsoft website, then run the installer and let it download the whole suite of apps. When you then open any Office app, you'll get a pop-up asking you to sign in. Image source : microsoft/windows
