Upgrading from Office 2010 to Office 2013 offers significant improvements.
Setting up a new system with one backup license for Office 2010 Professional Plus makes sense. Upgrading to Office 2013 would be costly, especially since you’re not using a touchscreen. A permanent copy without Office 365 is likely more affordable than a full license, so it’s probably worth the investment if you need it.
It varies. Office 2013 is largely similar to Office 2007 with only minor new features. It supports touch mode, enhancing usability on touch screens and fully supporting high-DPI displays. Microsoft mainly improved the rendering engine for 4K and higher resolutions. If your device is a Surface Pro or a 4K monitor, consider upgrading Office 2013; otherwise, it might not be worth it. Alternatively, you can subscribe to Office via Office 365 for $99 per year, granting access to five systems and five non-Windows tablets. This model suits families needing multiple devices. It includes all necessary programs, and automatic updates ensure you stay current with new versions. While $99 annually may seem steep, it’s often more economical than purchasing individual licenses, especially if you use Office 365 for multiple computers or compare it to other options. Additionally, Office 365 University offers a discounted rate of $75 over four years for students.
