Microsoft Office 2019 Windows 7 Compatibility

Before we talk about the Office 2019 System Requirements, let me first clarify what you get with this release.

Office 2019 is now available on a preview for commercial customers for both Windows and Mac. We do not have a lot of information available on the release dates yet since we are still away from the final release of the product. We expect the version to debut sometime in the latter half of 2018, subject to change. So, how does it differ from a traditional O365 subscription? Well, if you are an existing Office 365 ProPlus customer, you should already be on the latest version of the Office build. Office 2019, on the other hand, is a one-time purchase which gives you access to the 32-bit & 64-bit Windows desktop applications. So, in essence, Office 2019 is a perpetual upgrade to Office 2016.

Microsoft Office 2019 will install on the following minimum hardware requirements: Computer and processor 1.6 gigahertz (GHz) or faster, 2-core. Professional Plus: 2.0 GHz or greater recommended for Skype for Business. Memory 4GB RAM; 2GB RAM (32-bit) Hard disk 4GB of available disk space; Display 1280 x 768 screen resolution. Regarding support for Windows 7, 8/8.1, Microsoft wants users to switch to Windows 10 and Office 365 subscription. That's why Office 2019 is available for Windows 10 only. There will be one more perpetual release of Office suite and then Microsoft will support only Office 365 subscriptions.

This release of Office 2019 is ideal for disconnected PCs and Laptops which are not connected to the internet or are installed in a corporate environment.

With the Office 2019 release, you get the following:

  • Word 2019
  • Excel 2019
  • PowerPoint 2019
  • Outlook 2019
  • OneNote 2019
  • Publisher 2019
  • Access 2019
  • Project Professional 2019 and
  • Visio 2019

Note: Commercial Previews are for Microsoft’s Volume Licensing Customers only!

On the server side, we expect Microsoft to release the following:

  • Exchange Server 2019
  • SharePoint Server 2019
  • Project Server 2019 with SharePoint 2019 as a prerequisite
  • Skype for Business Server

  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC (Windows as a Service) release
