How to get Office for free on Windows 10 including Word and Excel
Microsoft's current strategy for Office means that you can download its mobile apps for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for free on a wide range of devices including Android and iOS. You can download these apps for Windows 10 using the links below.• Word Mobile
• Excel Mobile
• PowerPoint Mobile
What you can and can't do
While these are free for any Windows 10 device, they don't simply allow you full access to all the functionality. If you're using a PC or laptop you'll only be able to read documents and will need an Office 365 subscription to create and edit. However, those of you running Windows 10 on a device with a 10.1in screen or smaller can use the apps fully including creating and editing.Being able to view documents is pretty basic so for anyone on a PC, laptop or tablet with a screen bigger than 10.1in then you'll want to use an alternative to Microsoft Office if you don't want to pay. An Office 365 Subscription will cost you from £5.99 per month.
Before we look at some alternatives, remember that you can use Office Online if you have a Microsoft account. This is essentially Office but you just use it entirely in your web browser. You can also try Office 2016 for free.
