Latest MS Office update only for Mojave or later?

[davidlv]

I tried to update my Office 2019 for Mac on my older MBP 2011 running High Sierra and got an error message.
It seems that MS decide that the latest MS Office update would only be for Mojave or later. Really?

It's like this for the current Adobe Creative Cloud apps also, and comes as no surprise. Here's what's likely the reason:

Apple only issues security patches for the last 3 operating systems at a time (i.e. 11, 10.15, 10.14). It's been that way for the past 10 years or so.

Time to upgrade, and if your machine doesn't support Mojave, EVEN MORE time to upgrade...

If you don't like upgrading operating systems, you could always switch to Windows 10, which has been out since 2015 and continues to receive patches 😄.

Microsoft ended High Sierra support in December. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-updates-16b8414f-08ec-4b24-8c91-10a918f649f8

Microsoft supports the same versions of macOS as Apple still supports.
