Office 2016

Mee

Has anyone upgraded?
Received email from MS a few days ago pointing towards : https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-do-I-get-Office-2016-ee68f6cf-422f-464a-82ec-385f65391350?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Yes, when it came out. I have the Office 365 subscription so just upgraded as part of the sub.

I'm still on Office 2003.

I also have an office 365 sub so, yes, I'm using it.

Yeah, I upgraded as part of my Office 365 subscription.

First impressions are that there is no major difference, although I believe Microsoft have made it easier to utilise third-party cloud storage as a save location in this version. Google already has an official Google Drive plugin and I believe a DropBox one is to follow soon.

There are apparently more collaborative options available in Office 2016, though I've not made any use of them myself and I believe Excel has a few new prominent report features added.

Thanks Guys.

I've not upgraded to Windows 10 or upgraded to Office 16 both free to me, but I am worried about memory...

In case you forget you've upgraded?

One of my laptops is a 6 year old dual core HP machine with 4GB and a fresh install of Windows 10 and office 2016. Runs like a little dream.

Windows 10 seems to run faster than 7 or 8 and doesnt seem as bloated.

Outlook 2016 has a really good file attachment feature whereby it shows recently used files - almost always the file you want to attach!

Office 2016 has a dark colour again if you choose it - not the default washed out look of 2013!
