If you’ve ever used a computer for work or school (which is pretty much everyone reading this right now), you’ve almost certainly used a Microsoft Office product. This suite of productivity tools has become the standard bearer for tasks like word processing, spreadsheet calculations and presentation creation thanks to programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and power users have also learned to love newer programs like OneNote and yes, even Teams.

Historically, this collection of apps would cost hundreds of dollars to access, but those days have passed (at least temporarily). Because right now, in a special sale via Mashable, you can save nearly 90% on a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows PCs. No monthly subscription. No upsells for other apps. The whole thing, forever, for $29.99.

Working from a Mac? Good news: There’s a Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 package available with a lifetime license for $29.99 as well, which also represents an 86% discount. This package doesn’t include a couple of the Windows-specific apps – Publisher and Access are not included – but if you’re using those, you’re already working on a Windows machine anyways.

Speaking of Windows, that’s on sale too. You can choose from Windows 10 Pro, Windows 11 Home, or Windows 11 Pro, each for just $39.99. If you’ve been waiting to update your OS, saving roughly 70-80% on your platform is probably the best way to do it.

Whether you’ve been an Office user for years, you’re just dipping your toes into the Microsoft waters for the first time, or even if you just adore Outlook as your email client and everything else is a nice extra, this is a great time to grab these time-tested apps for all sorts of business, educational and creative projects.
