Office 2013 End of Support: Reduce your Exposure to Security Risk by Moving to a Newer Version of Office
Posted by Wei Fei on
After five years of Mainstream Support, and five years of Extended Support, Office 2013 will reach the End of Extended Support on April 11, 2023. Which means that after the April 2023 end date, support for Office 2013 will end and Microsoft won’t provide any new security updates, per the Fixed Lifecycle Policy.
Therefore, continuing to use Office 2013 after April 2023 may increase your organization’s exposure to security risks or impact your ability to meet compliance obligations.
We recommend upgrading to Microsoft 365 E3, which includes the Microsoft 365 Apps/Office apps you are familiar with (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook). Microsoft 365 Apps is designed to receive regular updates, which will help you stay current by getting security updates and our latest features. Below are some useful resources to help you make the shift:
