Need info re: transitioning from Outlook 2013 to a newer version that will work with Win 10 & Win 11

[Dude]

I have two Win 10 machines with Outlook 2013. I want to update to a newer version of Outlook (one that won't retire soon) that will also work with Win 11.




--How easy is this?


--Any links to comprehensive info regarding this, with step by step instructions?


Thanks.

Is there another forum dealing with MS Outlook that I could try? I hardly ever get any answers to my questions on this forum.

Office 2013, and more recent versions, will all run on Windows 10 and 11
Once Windows 10 is retired newer versions of Office will run on Windows 11 (ie do not expect any new versions to run on Windows 10).

The easiest path might be to do an "in place" upgrade to Office Home & Business 2024. This includes Outlook 2024. The latest version of the full featured, Classic, desktop, stand alone, perpetual license Outlook. You should be good for at least five years.

The other option would be to get a paid Microsoft 365 subscription. This give you access to the current version of Classic Outlook. (Microsoft will try to get you to switch to the New Outlook but you can stay on Classic as long as you want). Be sure to check out both the "Home" and "Business" tabs for all the different plans.

Correction - If you want to get Classic Outlook via a paid Microsoft 365 subscription

It must be a plan that includes "Desktop versions of ... Outlook" (not the "Microsoft 365 Business Basic" plan)
