If I run windows 10, will I be able to run my older version of office or will I be forced to upgrade to the subscription version?

The point of this model is to change software into a service.

So no. If not now, eventually all m/s s/w will be. And with 10 you won’t be able to refuse updates.

Yes, you can run legacy versions of office on 10.

I have Office 2007 running on a Windows 10 box. No problems.

I was able to find Office 10 Professional for $80.00 factory sealed. Works on W10
