What's included in the Windows 11 Home and Office 2024 Standard bundle?
You get two licences, each with its own 25-character product key. The Windows key activates the operating system and the Office key activates the Office apps. The keys are independent, so activating one doesn't affect the other.
| Product | What it covers | Where you enter the key |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 Home | The operating system for 1 PC | Settings → System → Activation |
| Office 2024 Standard | Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote | In Word or Excel when prompted, or under File → Account |
Office 2024 Standard includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Publisher isn't part of any Office 2024 edition, and Teams is a separate free download rather than part of the suite.
Should I choose a Home or a Pro bundle?
Choose Home for everyday browsing, email and documents, and Pro if you need business tools such as BitLocker, Remote Desktop or Access databases. The table compares the two bundle types for Windows 11 and Office 2024.
| Feature | Home + Office Standard | Pro + Office Professional Plus |
|---|---|---|
| BitLocker drive encryption | No | Yes |
| Remote Desktop host (connect to this PC) | No | Yes |
| Hyper-V virtual machines | No | Yes |
| Join a company domain or Microsoft Entra ID | No | Yes |
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote | Yes | Yes |
| Access | No | Yes |
| Publisher | Not in Office 2024 | Not in Office 2024 |
This bundle is the Home option. If you later need Pro tools, Windows 11 Home can be upgraded in place with a Pro key, without reinstalling.
How long will Windows 11 and Office 2024 get security updates?
Microsoft supports Office 2024 until 9 October 2029, and Windows 11 keeps receiving updates as long as you install its annual feature updates. During that time Office 2024 gets security fixes but no new features.
Each Windows 11 version is serviced for a set period, so leave Windows Update switched on to stay on a supported version. These updates don't cost anything extra.
What are the system requirements for this bundle?
The PC must meet the Windows 11 requirements, which are stricter than Office's: TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and a compatible 64-bit processor. In practice, a PC that runs Windows 11 also meets the minimums for Office 2024 Standard.
| Component | Windows 11 Home | Office 2024 Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | 1 GHz or faster, 2 or more cores, compatible 64-bit CPU | 1.1 GHz or faster, 2 cores |
| Memory (RAM) | 4 GB | 4 GB |
| Storage | 64 GB | 4 GB free |
| Display | 720p, larger than 9" diagonal | 1280 × 768 |
| Other | TPM 2.0, UEFI with Secure Boot, DirectX 12 graphics | Internet access for installation and activation |
To check a PC, run Microsoft's PC Health Check app or read the official Windows 11 requirements.
In what order should I install and activate the two keys?
Activate Windows first, then install Office. That way, if you decide on a clean Windows install, you won't have to install Office twice.
- If needed, install Windows 11 from Microsoft's official media, then open Settings → System → Activation.
- Select Change product key, enter the Windows key from your order email and wait until it says "Windows is activated".
- Remove any older Office version or Microsoft 365 trial under Settings → Apps.
- Download Office 2024 Standard with the link in your order email and run the installer.
- Open Word or Excel, enter the Office key when asked, then check that File → Account shows "Product Activated".
The most common mix-up we see is entering the Office key in the Windows activation screen, or the other way round. Each key works only in its own product, so check which is which in your order email before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Windows key and the Office key on different PCs?
Yes. They are two separate licences, so you can activate Windows on one PC and Office on another. Each key still activates only one PC, and Office needs a supported version of Windows on whichever computer you install it on.
Does Office 2024 Standard include Access?
No. Access is only included in Office Professional Plus. If you need to build or open Access databases, choose a Pro + Pro Plus bundle instead. The apps most people use every day, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, are all in Standard.
Does Office 2024 include Publisher?
No. Microsoft left Publisher out of every Office 2024 edition because it is retiring the app, with support ending in October 2026. Word handles most simple layouts such as flyers and newsletters, and existing Publisher files open only in Publisher itself.
Can I install the Office key from this bundle on a Mac?
No. The Office key in this bundle is for Office on Windows, and Mac editions of Office use different keys. If you use a Mac alongside a Windows PC, the Windows key and the Office key in this bundle both belong on the PC.
