Overview
Office 2010 refuses to die for a simple reason: it is small, it is fast, and it runs acceptably on machines that would struggle to open a modern suite. On an old laptop with a mechanical disk and four gigabytes of memory, this release opens a document in a second while a current one is still drawing its start screen.
The application set is complete Professional Plus rather than the home configuration, so Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, OneNote, InfoPath and SharePoint Workspace are all in the image. The file formats are the same ones the current suites use, so documents move back and forth without conversion, and the VBA runtime is present for the macro tooling that so many small offices still depend on.
Both architectures ship together, which matters more for this release than any other because so much of the legacy add-in world targets the 32-bit build only. The image also carries the servicing rollups, so the install comes up current rather than sitting through a long update pass on hardware that can least afford it.
What it does well
Runs on old hardware
The lightest of the perpetual suites, comfortable on machines with limited memory and a mechanical disk.
Full Professional Plus set
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, OneNote, InfoPath and SharePoint Workspace.
Current file formats
Documents, workbooks and presentations exchange with newer suites without a conversion step.
Both architectures
32-bit and 64-bit in one image, which keeps legacy add-ins and macro tooling working.
Servicing applied
Rollups integrated so the install arrives current instead of downloading updates for an hour.

- Setup fixed on systems where a newer suite was removed and left components behind.

Before you start
On Windows 11 the interface scaling on a high resolution panel needs a manual compatibility setting.
Do not install this alongside a newer suite, the file associations end up fighting.
Keep automatic updates off if you want the build to stay exactly as installed.

About this listing
This entry was checked on a clean install of Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 (32-bit and 64-bit) before it was published, and it is rechecked whenever the package is rebuilt. The figures on this page come from the site index rather than from the publisher, so the download count is what people here have actually pulled.
If a mirror stops answering, use the contact form and it gets replaced. Reports about a specific title are handled faster than general messages because they name the file, the mirror and the point at which the transfer stopped.
Requests for a different version, a different language build or an older release go on the requests page. Older versions of a title are usually still held even when only the current one is listed.
