Yep, I managed to find a license for 2019 several years aho and have just transferred it to my computers and I've upgraded. No copilot or prompts to upgrade.

I'm still testdriving libreoffice to try to dump ms entirely but I like having a backup available.

LibreOffice is great, but one of the problems is its not a business product. So sure, most everyone can do basic stuff and its fine. But if you're a business, it really won't cut it. And if you're a power user of any of the app types, shifting away might not be possible.

But yes, my goal is 100% shift from MS. I just can't shake excel until there's a better alternative (or I stop having the need).
