Microsoft Office that will work on both High Sierra and Big Sur?

[RLRL]

I have two Mac's that I use, my old faithful iMac High Sierra, still great, using Office 2011. My other is a MacBook Pro using Big Sur, no Office on it.

What version of Office do I need for Big Sur that will also run on High Sierra? Ideally, I want to upgrade my iMac High Sierra Office to an Office Version that will run on Big Sur.

I am thinking about upgrading the Late 2013 iMac to Big Sur, the most I can do with this machine, and then using Office on the MacBook Pro, and the iMac.

Comments?

Office 2021 with Big Sur should be ok

You should be able to download older versions of Office 2021 for older MacOSes. (I did this at one point and it worked)

The Office 2021 license will not activate before a specific version of Office, and you can't run current versions of Office apps on Big Sur. I would be surprised if it works for you. I would strongly consider upgrading past Big Sur if your computer supports it. You'd need to be on macOS Ventura (13.x) to run current versions of Office apps.

If I have two Macs running Big Sur, can I buy an individual license for each Mac.

Pay 22.41 for one mac, and 22.41 for the other mac, giving me a copy of Office on each Mac?

I think that Office 2016 will run on both High Sierra, and Big Sur. So for $40 I should be able to buy a individual license for the iMac, and the Mac Book Pro.

I am right here???????

According to the information I have found, Office 16.43 is the last to work on High Sierra and should work on Big Sur too.
You can try to install it
