It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Older Microsoft Office!
If you’re still using Microsoft Office 2016 or Office 2019, listen up! As of 14th October 2025, these versions, along with Visio and Project from the same years, are no longer supported by Microsoft. This means no more security updates, bug fixes, or official technical help. While your software might still work, continuing to use unsupported programmes leaves your computer vulnerable and could cause frustrating problems down the line.
Here’s why this matters for you and your organisation:
- Security Vulnerabilities: Without ongoing security updates, your computer becomes an easier target for cyber threats, viruses, and potential data breaches.
- Reliability Issues: You might encounter more software bugs or compatibility problems when working with newer files and operating systems, leading to frustrating interruptions and lost work.
- Lack of Official Support: If you run into a problem, Microsoft will no longer provide technical assistance, leaving you to troubleshoot complex issues on your own.
To keep your digital workspace secure and running smoothly, we strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version like Microsoft 365 or Office LTSC 2024. These options ensure you receive continuous updates, dedicated support, and access to the latest features.
