What are some reputable sources to purchase an inexpensive, single, non Microsoft 365, version of Word for a HP Windows 11 laptop? I would prefer to purchase from a US based business.

Thanks!

Sealed Student copy of office off ebay is easiest and cheap. 2016 copy up to a 202x copy all should work just fine and are permanent licenses you register to your Microsoft account, no yearly fees. Thats what i did. Once its registered on your Microsoft account, you should be able to download and install from the Microsoft website.

Seems sketch as hell but if it works, that is a great deal. Seems like an oem partner is generating keys and selling them on the side against the normal TOS is what it looks like to me.

I bought a key like that from Mashable a few years ago and it's been just fine (Mac version). $20 for the pro version, 1 install.

Electronic First might have what you want. I don't know how 365 works but the standalone versions have been great and super cheap.

They have treated me well for multiple builds for all sorts of software and they stand behind it if there is any trouble. No questions asked.

There are several open source and free alternatives that are compatible with word files.

Libreoffice, OpenOffice, wps office, there are a few others. I know it's not what you asked for, but just letting you know.

My laptop already has microsoft 365, minus Word, on it. This is the reason why I really only want to purchase Word separate from Microsoft Office Suite.

I don't think it's possible to just buy word, and I don't think Microsoft makes a product that is 365 without Word. Operator error.

This is what I did about 6 months ago. It's legit...
