Ahhh....the plot thickens.....It's very hard trying to explain to a salesman that you NEED the version that allows the user to access VBA....when the response is ..."what's VBA?"
@RoryA
Apparently so.....maybe they only use Excel for doing simple calcs and Word for grocery lists...
I have dealt with a number of "salespeople" that glaze over if you mention VBA or macros.....The big computer retailers especially.
Having said that if your selling computers and your only 16 years old, it's to be expected !!
I have been directed to $3000 laptops because they have great graphics......"what, for Excel ?".....Yeah, I need that !!
Maybe I look stupid, 'cause I'm old !
Mine about 2 laptops back was going into a major Electrical/PC outlet. Having a spotty face kid come over and ask if he could help. I asked "What the clock speed was" and he responded with "Do you know where to find it?"
I prefer to build my own PCs from scratch, though I do buy laptops from manufs. But I choose the (spendy) option where I can choose what I need in it..
When you buy a prebuilt PC, the Office 365 that's installed on it is usually not activated. You activate it yourself, choosing exactly which package you want at that time.
If I remember correctly...
O365 for business (not sure how this applies to home) Understand subscriptions and licenses in Microsoft 365 for business - explains licensing with subscriptions - a must read! ONE person can install on up to 5 PCs/Macs, 5 tablets and 5 phones. They all share the same account. If you want different accounts, then you are looking at multiple licenses. But with my 1 license, I have legally installed it on 3 pcs, 2 laptops. I think my tablet might be activated, I don't remember.
