To provide you with the best experience, Microsoft 365 for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac supports the three most recent versions of Apple's macOS.

Note: As new major versions of macOS are made generally available, Microsoft will remove support for the oldest version and support the newest and previous two versions of macOS. Product functionality and feature availability may vary on older systems. For the best experience, use the latest version of any operating system specified above.



As of the December 2020 (build 16.44) update for Microsoft 365 for Mac or Office 2019 for Mac, macOS 10.14 Mojave or later is required to receive updates to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. If you continue with an older version of macOS, your Office apps will still work, but you'll no longer receive any updates including security updates.

Upgrading your operating system to macOS 10.14 or later will allow Office updates to be delivered for your apps. Note that new installs of Microsoft 365 for Mac or Office 2019 for Mac will also require macOS 10.14 or later.

What if I don't update macOS to a supported version?

If you're on an unsupported version of macOS, your Office apps will still work but you would no longer receive any updates including security updates. For example, if you're on macOS 10.14, but later you don't update your macOS to a supported version when macOS 10.14 is no longer supported, you won't receive any updates of any kind.

As new major versions of macOS are released and older versions become unsupported, we highly recommend you continue to update your macOS to a supported version in order to receive mainstream support such as security updates as well as new features (if you're an Microsoft 365 for Mac subscriber). This applies for both Microsoft 365 for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac users.

Is macOS Monterey supported?

Apple announced that macOS Monterey will be generally available (GA) in the fall of 2021, and customers can access a public beta starting in July. You can use the latest builds of Office alongside Monterey for testing purposes, but official support will not begin until Monterey is made generally available.
