Checking Your macOS Version
To see which version of macOS your Mac is running:
- Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen
- Select About This Mac
- Your macOS version name and version number will be shown there
Microsoft Office for Mac Compatibility
The Office version you need depends on which version of macOS your Mac supports.
- Office 2024 Home & Business for Mac — for newer versions of macOS
- Office 2021 Home & Business for Mac — suitable for a wide range of modern Mac systems
- Office 2019 Home & Business for Mac — usually the safest choice for older Macs, including systems running Big Sur
If you have an older Mac, Office 2019 is often the most reliable option.
Autodesk Products on Mac
Some Autodesk products, such as AutoCAD for Mac, are available for macOS. Once your licence has been assigned to your Autodesk account, you can download the Mac version through Autodesk.
Please note that not all Autodesk products are available for Mac. Some products, including Revit and Inventor, are Windows-only.
Windows Products on Mac
Windows product keys and Windows-only software, such as Office Professional Plus for Windows, Revit, or Inventor, will not work directly on macOS.
To use Windows-only software on a Mac, you would need to run Windows separately using a compatible solution such as virtualisation software or a Windows installation environment supported by your Mac.
Not Sure If Your Mac Is Compatible?
If you are unsure whether a product will work on your system, please contact our support team through the helpdesk and include:
- Your macOS version
- The product you are interested in
We will then advise you on the best option.
