If you don't have a white collar business need for Office then It's very hard to suggest that anyone use anything other than the free offerings from Microsoft and Google.
Both companies offer free online versions of word processor, spreadsheet, presentation apps that are very good.
It's what I'll use when I get out of my current line of work.

Just read this article mate and I have some questions: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2026...t-or-own-.html
If I cancelled my subscription and bought Office 2013, would I lose all my emails stored on Outlook and would I still be able to access emails on my phone?

The trick is to acquire something new before you cancel your sub. Get everything moved across into your new apps, backed up and then unsub the old stuff.
I just switched from Office 365 Business Premium to Business Essentials and lost nothing.
If you unsub from your current plan, what will you move to? If you don't stay with Exchange Online you'll lose yr email and if you don't keep Outlook any exposrt to PST you do to back up yr email will be unreadable by any other email app.
Your not stuffed, just need to put a plan together.
Do you have 300GB of photos that you cannot live without on Onedrive?

You should not lose any emails as they are most likely stored on a central server that your desktop and phone booth access (when you read an email on one of those devices you should see it becomes marked as read when you look on the other device).
The best thing to do is call Microsoft support and ask them about you concerns. If you are paying a subscription, you are paying for support too!

They will even call you so you don't have to wait on hold.

Thanks guys. Yes I should give some consideration to a plan.
And I don't have anything on Onedrive except a couple of documents accidentally saved there. Everything is on the hard drive.

Have you ever looked at your email online?
Go to portal.office.com and sign in with your O365 details, you may find you can live with the webmail client and not have to buy Office at all?

Just had a look and it looks just the same as through the app. Wasn't aware I could do that.
