Office Mobile apps for Windows 10 will only require Office 365 on PCs and large tablets

One of the questions folks have been asking recently concerns the use of the new, universal Microsoft Office apps for Windows ten and whether or non you'll need Role 365 to edit documents. Microsoft initially said that access would be free for mobile devices and today that is being cleared upwards once and for all.

In short, you lot can't use these, costless apps on a PC or large tablet to edit documents without an Office 365 subscription.

Here's the important part:

"You may have already noticed that on PCs and tablets nosotros've added "Mobile" to the app names (to assist distinguish them from the Office desktop suite), while on phones we only call the apps Discussion, Excel and PowerPoint. We will as well remove "Preview" from the app names and in well-nigh one week, y'all will need an Office 365 subscription to edit on Windows 10 PCs and larger tablets.

Similar to what we announced in March, viewing and most editing will remain free for non-commercial utilise on devices of 10.1" or less. Otherwise, you lot volition need a qualifying Part 365 subscription."

In this case Microsoft is being pretty generous with what classes every bit a large tablet. Essentially it rules out the Surface Pro 3 and other similarly sized, or bigger tablets. For people using small Windows 10 tablets and Windows 10 phones, information technology'll remain free. Though what "most editing" classes as we're unsure.

It makes sense, too. If yous're on a PC or something like the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft wants yous to utilise the full, desktop Office suite. For everywhere else, these apps will practice only nicely.
