Microsoft 365 comes in several different flavors, both for individuals and organizations. For individuals alone, you can choose among Basic, Personal, Family, and Premium. Excluding Basic, the other three subscriptions offer desktop versions of the core Office apps, namely Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. With each one, Microsoft doles out a certain amount of OneDrive space. And as the much ballyhooed icing on the cake, Copilot AI is built in to generate content and answer your questions.
