Here’s one more thing that’s worth mentioning. You might have noticed that we used both Office 365 and Microsoft 365 to refer to this great service as well as to the error addressed in today’s guide.

We did so in order to make things easier for you. Microsoft actually rebranded Office 365 back in 2020 and changed its name to Microsoft 365.

By adding a few cool and interesting features and updating the pricing plans to make them even more competitive, a new product was born and we simply cannot get enough of it.

You can download and install Microsoft 365 from our secure page and give it a try to see for yourself. If you have any more questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
