Editor’s note 11\/8\/2018:<\/strong><\/em>
\nChanges have been made to the Office 365 system requirements. You can find more information in this support article<\/a> and announcement<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Office 365 ProPlus delivers cloud-connected and always up-to-date versions of our most valuable enterprise apps. Today, we\u2019re making three important announcements related to ProPlus: changes to the Office 365 system requirements; improvements to the ProPlus update model, including alignment with Windows 10; and new tools and programs to manage ProPlus application compatibility.<\/p>\n

Changes to the Office 365 system requirements<\/h3>\n

Office 365 ProPlus is the very best way to experience the Office 365 services. For IT, ProPlus delivers the most secure and most complete suite of productivity apps available. And because the apps are cloud-connected and always up-to-date, they\u2019re continually getting better\u2014with new security features, new telemetry and new management capabilities. For end users, ProPlus brings the Office 365 services to life. When a modern app is connected to a modern service, magic happens. People can collaborate in new ways. Apps can simplify mundane tasks. And advanced security services can protect users as they work.<\/p>\n

When customers connect to Office 365 with a legacy version of Office, they\u2019re not enjoying all that the service has to offer. The IT benefits\u2014particularly security\u2014are cut short. And the end user experience in the apps is limited to the features shipped at a point in time. To ensure that customers are getting the most out of their Office 365 subscription, we are updating our system requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n
