Do you need Microsoft 365, and is it worth the cost
Microsoft 365 Personal costs 60 pounds a year and gives you Word, Excel, PowerPoint, 1TB storage, and regular updates. Family costs 80 pounds for up to 6 people. For occasional use, free alternatives like Google Docs work fine.
Microsoft 365 is a subscription with full Office apps and cloud storage. Worth it if you use it regularly or share with family. If you rarely open Word, free tools like Google Docs or LibreOffice save money.
