Microsoft Word is easily the most popular word processor out there. Now, it’s ready to download for free on Windows. Since Word is part of the Microsoft 365 suite, you can access it alongside the other essential software that has made Microsoft the leading developer for productivity. Once you download Microsoft Word for Windows, you can access it through a subscription to Microsoft 365. You can also opt for the more traditional route of purchasing a single license for your computer and getting perpetual access to the software. However, this won’t include the option to save all your work on OneDrive – the cloud-based storage for Microsoft.
