• Office 365 Personal licenses can still be used to extend Office 365 Home expiration

    Interesting news from Paul Thurrott:

    Many new PCs come with free one-year subscription to Office 365 Personal. But Microsoft doesn’t let you have two Office 365 subscriptions attached to your Microsoft account. So if you have an existing Office 365 Home subscription, they let you use the Office 365 Personal offer to add 9 months to your existing Home subscription instead.

    That’s very good news if you have an Office 365 Home subscription, and buy a new PC that comes with a free year of Office 365 Personal. Depending on how you value the extension of the Office 365 Home license, that free Office 365 Personal extension offer is worth about $60 to $90 (= $7 or $10 or so x 9).

    You could think of it as an automatic $60 discount on a new Windows PC. Assuming you pay for Office 365 Home, anyway.

    Yes, Office 365 Home is the version that lets you install the major Office apps on up to 5 PCs or Macs + 5 tablets + 5 phones. It also includes 1 TB of OneDrive storage.
