Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my Office apps after canceling?

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps become read-only. You can view existing documents but cannot create or edit. Consider exporting important files to alternative formats first.

Will I lose my OneDrive files?

OneDrive storage drops from 1TB to 5GB. If you're using more than 5GB, you'll need to download or delete files. Microsoft gives you a grace period but eventually may delete files over the limit.

Can I get a refund for Microsoft 365?

Microsoft may offer prorated refunds for annual plans, especially within the first 30 days. The refund option appears during the cancellation process. Monthly plans typically aren't refunded.

Is there a free version of Microsoft Office?

Yes. Office.com offers free web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint with limited features. You also get 5GB of OneDrive storage for free.
