On PC Outlook version in 365 ver 2016?

Hello all.

My company switched its e-mails system to one I have been told by them can only use the Outlook version of Office 365 due to something in regards to a double authenticity thing, and have said only the version of Outlook in 365 at least as far as it being somewhat on my PC can work with their setup now.

I used to be able to use Outlook 2010 for my mails up till this change, but now with this change they said only Office 365 can be used.

So someone is coming this Monday to install Office 365 to my machine, but in looking into this (and without making a long story as to why), I think what I would rather have is the version in Office 2016 if I am correct as that is the version that gets mostly or completely installed to a PC via a Offline installer?

If this is so, does anyone know if there is a difference between the two as in if that is what I make them put on my PC it might not work as they are not 100% the same version?

All in all I know that final question fully would be hard to say, but at least if I can be told they for sure are not the same all aside from just one is mostly internet based, and one is mostly my machine, that will at least get me that far.

Thanks for any help.

Hello all

Thanks for the help and advice, but after all this I remembered that our company offers discounts for stuff and it turns out I was able to get Office 2016 via a download pretty cheap.

So I installed it on my home PC and with the typical setup for getting Outlook to work including the process of the double autho thing, it seems to be working fine at having access to their system and I was able to get pretty much everything back I had before.

Also only had to pay the one time cost, (although I know what that will mean in the future)

So perhaps what will do is if the tech will not do the same I will see if I can put this one on it, or if the key will not allow it installed to a second PC just purchase a second as it certainly was cheap enough.

Now am off to post the one thing so far I seem to have a issue with.

Thanks

Or alternatively not having to pay indefinitely.

If you want to pay €50 a year for your 1TB of space that is up to you. I would rather pay €300 (or €500 or €15) and never have the buggers pestering me again.

It is not like Word or Excel gets so much better with each version you need the new one is it?
