Office 2021 is a version of Microsoft Office released on 5 October 2021 along with Windows 11. Unlike Office 2019, this version is supported for only five years instead of seven as the extended support period has been entirely eliminated. Office 2021 is the first version of Microsoft Office since Office 95 to not have an extended support period.
