Excel in Click to Run or Subsciption 365

[chef]

Anyone help with my confusion...

I have Excel 2016 ( office 16 ) installed and I also just bought Office 365 but it was a "click to run" version as I found out.

I'm really wanting the new insert icon features and have seen some info on Google that you only get this with a subscription package and not a click to run.

Seems various flavours now of Office and Excel and I would appreciate anyone who can help clarify as I am about to purchase a personal subscription to office 365 just to get the insert icons alone.
Anyone else come across this issue.

regards

personally I think 365 is the way MS are moving, you will never be able to buy stand-alone in the future, but will rent an OS/office suite (this was mentioned a number of years back), some recent discussions here > https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/lounge-v-2-0/1042955-office-365-a.html & http://blog.goptg.com/blog/2015/09/24/office-2016-vs-office-365-whats-the-difference

Many thanks for quick reply and links.

How to confuse consumers in one easy lesson by MS.
I'm not a marketing guy and some quite happy with subscription and some just need a licence....but to have difference versions of 365 seems a little strange...
anways...it is what it is and thank you
