Summarizing video showing MS' horrible practicies regarding Office 365's subscription tiers, where they basically forcefully upgrade you to a higher tier subscription, and at the same time renaming the tier names so you won't notice...

I got my Windows 11 key and office key from here:

https://shop.lifehacker.com/sales/microsoft-office-professional-2021-for-windows-lifetime-license-5

There may be better places but the prices were better than I expected so I tried it. Site was fine, and both licenses worked perfectly. I think i saw get another 15% offer if your a new user so don't forget to sign up at the bottom to get more off your first purchase. I actually see office 2024 as well now and it's a bit much at $160, but from what I see Amazon and newegg are selling it for $250. I would still wait, I honestly have no idea what new stuff they ever add that is useful to me anymore, 2021 is probably fine for $100 less.
