[QUOTE="callmedory, post: 1867532, member: 387796"] I understand that to update the iMac’s OS to Catalina, I should update Office [U]first[/U], since Office 2008 will not work with Catalina. We also have an older iMac (no OS updates possible, it’s 2010? 2011?)--and a MBP that should also go to Catalina & Office. I haven’t decided if the iPhone 11’s really need Office on them or not. We have old docs (word/excel) that we don’t want to lose and continually use (yes, everything on the iMac is double-backed-up, the MBP is only single-backed-up). We’re not gamers, social media types, video, or even porn--we’re boring and we don’t mind that. Mostly just word processing, spreadsheets, and going online. My husband and I use one Apple account and have open-access to everything between us. I’m responsible for making sure things work and such, so we don’t *need* 2 usernames/accounts, though if we had it (family plan), some siblings may--or may not--use the access. [B]1) So, what’s the best plan to update and in what order? 2) And what’s the difference between Office 365 and 2019 (besides price)--and which would be best in our situation? [/B] [/QUOTE]
