Microsoft Office 2010 reached its end of support October 13, 2020

While the technical capability of the 64-bit suite remains impressive, the risks associated with deploying end-of-life, modified software outweigh the benefits. Users and organizations are urged to transition to supported versions of Microsoft Office (such as Office 2021 or Microsoft 365) to ensure security, compliance, and continued functionality. The "pre-activated" model is not a sustainable IT strategy and exposes the user to unnecessary technical and legal liability.
