Microsoft today announced the end of support for Office 2010 and Office 2016 for Mac. From today, Microsoft will not be releasing bug fixes, or security updates for these products. Also, Microsoft won’t offer technical support for these products. If you haven’t already started the Office 2010 migration process, you need to start now. Also, to use services like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online, you need Microsoft 365 Apps, Office 2019, or Office 2016.

“While we will not take any active measures to block legacy versions of the Office client from connecting, these older clients will fall out of step with the service enhancements and may present performance and/or reliability issues over time,” said Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365.

Following two options are available for people who want to upgrade from Office 2010.

Microsoft 365 Apps, the subscription version of Office that comes with many Office 365 (and Microsoft 365) enterprise and business plans.
Office 2019, which is sold as a one-time purchase and available for one computer per license.

What is the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy for Microsoft 365 and Office products?

The Office 365 and Microsoft 365 suite of services, along with Microsoft 365 Apps, is governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy.

On April 21, 2020, we adopted 'Microsoft 365 Apps' for our two Office client subscription products:

Office 365 ProPlus will become Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise
Office 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Apps for business

Also, on that date, we changed the names of our Office 365 small and medium business offerings and many of our consumer offerings:

Office 365 Business Essentials will become Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Office 365 Business Premium will become Microsoft 365 Business Standard
Microsoft 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Office 365 Home will become Microsoft 365 Family
Office 365 Personal will become Microsoft 365 Personal
Office 365 Solo will become Microsoft 365 Personal
Office 365 Services will become Microsoft 365 Personal
Office 365 University will become Microsoft 365 Personal
Office 365 Home (for military) will become Microsoft 365 Family

There are no naming changes for Office 365 Enterprise, Government, and Education editions and Microsoft 365 Enterprise, Government, and Education editions.

Other Office on-premises products are governed by the Fixed Lifecycle Policy. Search for a specific Office product to see its corresponding Lifecycle Policy and end-of-support dates.

For Office 2019, Microsoft will provide 5 years of mainstream support with 2 years of extended support as an exception to the 10-year Fixed-Lifecycle Policy term. This 7-year term will align with the support period for Office 2016.
