How to Use Outlook with Office Home and Student 2019
Question details
The user needs to use Outlook and Exchange but only has Office Home and Student 2019, which lacks these applications.
- Product
- Office Home and Student 2019
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to access email and calendar features via Outlook while using the Office Home and Student 2019 suite.
- Observed behavior
- Outlook and Exchange are not included in the Office Home and Student 2019 installation package.
Verify your current Microsoft Office license to confirm which applications are included before purchasing additional software.
Purchase and Install Outlook Separately
You can buy Outlook as a standalone application to use alongside your existing Office Home and Student 2019 suite.
Since Office Home and Student 2019 only includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, it does not have built-in email client capabilities. Microsoft allows users to purchase Outlook as a standalone application.
Navigate to the official Microsoft website or open the Microsoft Store app on your computer.
Search for 'Outlook' and look for the one-time purchase standalone version.
Complete the purchase using your Microsoft account, then download and install the application.
Upgrade to a Microsoft 365 Subscription
Subscribe to Microsoft 365 to gain access to Outlook, Exchange, and premium features across all Office apps.
Looking for a Cost-Effective Alternative to Microsoft Office?
If you want a free, lightweight, and fully compatible alternative to Microsoft Office, consider WPS Office. It provides powerful Word, Excel, and PowerPoint alternatives with a familiar interface, saving you from expensive subscription fees.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the free installation package for your device.
- 2. Install and Launch: Run the installer, follow the on-screen prompts, and open the WPS Office application.
- 3. Open Your Documents: Directly open your existing .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files without any conversion required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Outlook for free if I already have Office Home and Student 2019?
No, Office Home and Student 2019 only includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Outlook is not included in this suite and must be purchased separately or accessed via a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Will buying a Microsoft 365 subscription overwrite my Office 2019 license?
No, your Office Home and Student 2019 license remains valid. However, installing Microsoft 365 will upgrade your apps to the subscription versions, giving you access to Outlook and premium features.
How do I access Exchange without Outlook?
You can access your Exchange email accounts using the built-in Windows Mail app, the web-based Outlook.com portal, or third-party email clients that support Exchange protocols.
Can I use the same Microsoft account for both Office 2019 and a standalone Outlook purchase?
Yes, it is highly recommended to purchase standalone Outlook or a Microsoft 365 subscription using the same Microsoft account linked to your Office Home and Student 2019.
