Microsoft officially released Office 2024 for consumers and Office LTSC 2024 for enterprise customers. Unlike Microsoft 365, Office 2024 is sold as a perpetual, one-time purchase without a monthly subscription. If you need offline installers, direct IMG disk images from Microsoft servers, or deployment files for Office LTSC 2024, the verified download links and configuration steps are detailed below.
For fresh operating system setups, see our guide on how to clean install Windows 11, or grab the latest system image from our Windows 11 ISO download directory before setting up your office suite.
Microsoft Office 2024 Retail direct download links
These links point directly to official Microsoft CDN servers (officecdn.microsoft.com and c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com). The offline IMG disk image contains full installation files for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Once downloaded, double-click the .img file in Windows 10 or Windows 11 to mount it as a virtual drive, then run setup.exe.

Deploy Office LTSC 2024 using Office Deployment Tool
Microsoft does not publish a standalone ISO for Office LTSC 2024 volume licensing. Instead, deployments rely on the official Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The tool fetches installation packages directly from Microsoft’s PerpetualVL2024 update channel.
To deploy Office LTSC 2024 locally, follow these steps:
- Download the official Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center and run the executable to extract setup.exe into a dedicated folder, such as C:\Office2024.
- Create a configuration file named configuration.xml inside that same folder. Paste the XML configuration below into the file.
- Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator, navigate to C:\Office2024 using cd C:\Office2024, and run the configuration command.
Here is a working configuration file for 64-bit Office LTSC 2024 Professional Plus:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
<Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" />
</Configuration>To trigger the installation directly from Microsoft CDN servers, run this command:
setup.exe /configure configuration.xmlIf you prefer to download the setup files offline first before installing on target machines, run the download command instead:
setup.exe /download configuration.xmlThis creates a local Office folder containing the full Click-to-Run installation payload. You can transfer that folder to a USB drive created with Rufus and deploy it across multiple computers without using extra internet bandwidth.
Alternative installation with YAOCTRU and YAOCTRI
For users who prefer a menu-driven script rather than writing XML files by hand, abbodi1406’s open-source YAOCTRU (Yet Another Office Click-To-Run Downloader) and YAOCTRI (Installer) scripts automate channel downloads and installation.
- Download the YAOCTRU script package from GitHub. Extract the archive into a local folder.
- Run YAOCTRU_Generator.cmd and select the PerpetualVL2024 channel to download Office 2024 files. The script creates an output folder named C2R_PerpetualVL2024.
- Select the built-in curl option for downloading. Windows 10 and 11 include curl natively, so you do not need third-party utilities like aria2 or wget unless you specifically configure them.
- Download the YAOCTRI package, extract YAOCTRI_Configurator.cmd, and paste it directly beside the Office folder inside your downloaded C2R_PerpetualVL2024 directory.
- Run YAOCTRI_Configurator.cmd as administrator to select your desired apps, language pack, and complete the installation.
Differences between Office 2024 and Microsoft 365
Deciding between standalone Office 2024 and a Microsoft 365 subscription depends on how you handle updates and licensing:
- Office 2024 gives you a permanent license for a single computer. You pay once, receive security updates for five years under Microsoft’s Fixed Lifecycle Policy (through October 2029), but the core feature set remains locked.
- Microsoft 365 requires an ongoing monthly or annual fee. In exchange, apps receive rolling monthly feature additions, 1 TB of cloud storage per user, and multi-device installations across desktops, laptops, and tablets.
- Office LTSC 2024 serves regulated environments, point-of-sale terminals, and offline testing machines where systems cannot accept unvetted feature changes.
If disk capacity on your system drive is limited, check how much space Windows takes before adding full offline office packages, which typically need between 4 GB and 5 GB of free drive space.
Frequently asked questions
Which operating systems support Office 2024?
Office 2024 runs on Windows 11, Windows 10 (version 21H2 or newer), Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025. It also supports the three most recent versions of macOS. Windows 10 on ARM is not supported; ARM hardware requires Windows 11.
Are both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures available?
Yes. Microsoft provides both 32-bit and 64-bit packages. Modern 64-bit Windows installations should use the 64-bit release to handle large spreadsheets and documents without memory constraints.
Can Office 2024 run alongside older Office suites?
Microsoft does not support side-by-side installations of Click-to-Run Office suites that share identical core components. If you have Office 2016, 2019, or 2021 installed, uninstall them before installing Office 2024 to avoid file association and licensing conflicts.
