I think I read that verge is coming out in 2018. Is this the 2018 version of Office or the new OS?
Thank you for the previous information. I think I would upgrade to Office 2016 but would have to look into the details - cost, download?.
I like a disc so could I convert the download to a disc? I did that with 2010 and just used the key I was given when asked.
