What end of support means for you

  • You'll no longer receive Office 2007 software updates from Microsoft Update.

  • You'll no longer receive security updates. Security updates are what help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

  • You'll no longer receive phone or chat technical support.

  • No further updates to support content will be provided. In fact, most online help content will be retired.

  • You'll no longer be able to download Office 2007 from the Microsoft web site.

Why is Microsoft doing this?

Office 2007, like most Microsoft products, has a support lifecycle during which we provide new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. This lifecycle typically lasts for 10 years from the date of the product’s initial release.

What are my options?

Although you'll still be able to use Office 2007, we recommend upgrading to a newer version of Office so you can stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security updates.
