Why buy Windows 11 Pro and Office 2024 Pro Plus together?

Microsoft lists Windows 11 as a supported platform for Office LTSC 2024, so the two halves of this bundle form a pair that is documented to work, which matters on a new or freshly rebuilt PC. Windows 11 Pro also covers the three areas Office 2024 leaves out by design, because this Office generation stores everything locally instead of in Microsoft 365: encryption of those local files, isolated testing, and remote access to the machine that holds them.

Supported pairing – Office LTSC 2024 is supported on Windows 11
Encrypted local files – BitLocker protects documents Office stores offline
Remote workstation access – Windows 11 Pro can host Remote Desktop sessions
Isolated testing – Hyper-V and Sandbox run unknown files safely
No subscription – both halves are one-time purchase software
Combined price – lower than the two keys bought separately

Do Office 2024 Pro Plus and Windows 11 Pro work together?

Yes. Microsoft names Windows 11, Windows 11 LTSC 2024, Windows 10 LTSC 2021, Windows 10 LTSC 2019, Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 as the supported operating systems for Office LTSC 2024. The standard Windows 10 editions most home and office PCs run are not on that list, which is the practical reason these two products are sold together for machines that are being set up or replaced. If you are moving off an older PC, pairing the operating system and the Office generation in one step avoids installing a suite that is not supported on the system underneath it.

How does Windows 11 Pro protect the files Office 2024 creates?

Through BitLocker drive encryption, which Microsoft lists for Windows Pro, Enterprise and Education, but not for Windows Home. This matters more with Office 2024 than with a Microsoft 365 installation, because Office LTSC 2024 has no cloud-backed storage: the Word documents, Excel workbooks and Outlook data files stay on the local disk. On a notebook that leaves the office, an encrypted system drive is what stops a stolen machine from becoming a readable archive of your correspondence. Windows 11 Home only offers Device Encryption, an on-or-off switch tied to Microsoft's hardware conditions, without per-drive encryption or the BitLocker management tools.

Can I reach the Office workstation from another computer?

Yes, because Windows 11 Pro can act as the Remote Desktop host. Microsoft states that the PC you connect to must run a Windows Pro edition, while the device you connect from can run Home or another operating system entirely. Office LTSC 2024 has no real-time collaboration, and an Access database cannot be opened in a browser at all, so a remote session is the realistic way to reach an Excel model or a database that lives on the office machine while you are somewhere else. On a Windows 11 Home PC that Remote Desktop option does not exist.

In which order should the two products be installed?

Set up Windows 11 Professional first, then install Office 2024 Professional Plus into the finished system. Doing it the other way round means installing Office twice, because a clean Windows setup erases the system volume together with the program files and registry entries the suite writes. It is also worth switching BitLocker on before you copy over document archives and Outlook data, so the files are written to a volume that is already encrypted instead of triggering a full-drive encryption pass afterwards.

Who is this bundle best suited for?

It fits a PC that is being built or rebuilt from scratch and needs both the system and the office suite at once. The specific case it covers better than a smaller Office edition is local database work: Access is included in Professional Plus and in no consumer Office 2024 edition, so a workshop, practice or small firm that keeps its parts list, patient records or order book in an .accdb file gets the database application and, through Hyper-V, a way to test changes in a virtual machine before rolling them out, provided that guest system carries its own licence. If nobody in the company touches a database file, that argument does not apply and a smaller Office edition is the more sensible purchase.

When is it better to buy the two products separately?

Whenever you already own one half. A PC that is already running Windows 11 Professional gains nothing from a second operating system, so only the Office key is needed. The same is true in reverse for a machine that already has a current Office suite installed. And if the PC will never encrypt a drive, host a remote session or run a virtual machine, Windows 11 Home covers the operating system side and Office 2024 Professional Plus can be bought on its own, since Office runs on Windows 11 regardless of the edition.

What is not included in this bundle?

Publisher and Teams. Microsoft removed Publisher from Office LTSC 2024 because the application is being retired and will no longer be supported after October 2026, and Teams is not preinstalled with the suite but offered as a separate download. Office LTSC 2024 also does not carry the cloud-backed part of Microsoft 365: no real-time collaboration, no AI-driven automation, and none of the hybrid-work security and compliance tooling. Access, which is included, runs on Windows only and is not available in the macOS version.

Frequently asked questions about Office 2024 Pro Plus & Win 11 Pro

Does Windows 11 Pro already contain an Office version?

No. Windows 11 Professional contains no Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Access, which is why the office suite is the second half of this bundle. Windows 11 does preinstall the new Outlook mail app, but that is a mail client only and not the classic Outlook desktop application that comes with Office 2024 Professional Plus.

Does Office 2024 Pro Plus also run on Windows 11 Home?

Yes. Microsoft lists Windows 11 as a supported platform for Office LTSC 2024 without restricting it to a particular edition. The Professional edition in this bundle adds BitLocker, Hyper-V, Windows Sandbox and Remote Desktop hosting, none of which are needed to run the Office applications themselves.

Is Microsoft Access part of Office 2024 Professional Plus?

Yes. Microsoft lists Access alongside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024, and it is not part of the consumer Office 2024 editions. Access is available on Windows only and not in the macOS version of Office.

Legal Information About Our Products

keys.express and keys.discount are online platforms for product keys. The product keys available in our shops for Windows and other software are inexpensive, secure, legal and come with an activation guarantee.

Below you will find the most important legal information about our products.

Unused and Non-Activated Product Keys

We offer exclusively unused and non-activated product keys. The keys have never been redeemed for activation and are fully available to the purchaser for the first-time activation of the respective product. A key that has already been redeemed could no longer be used for a new activation and is therefore not offered by us.

Trading in these product keys is permissible in the European Union and in Switzerland under current case law, provided that the necessary conditions are met. These conditions are as follows:

• The software must originally have been placed on the market with the consent of the rightholder within the territory of the EU, another contracting state of the EEA, or Switzerland by way of sale.
• The license for the software must have been granted in return for the payment of a fee intended to enable the rightholder to obtain remuneration corresponding to the economic value of the copy of the software.
• The rightholder must have granted the first acquirer the right to use the software permanently (for an unlimited period).
• Any improvements and updates that the subsequently downloaded computer program has compared to the originally downloaded one must be covered by a maintenance agreement concluded between the rightholder and the first acquirer.
• The original licensee must have made their own copies unusable.

This trade is legally permissible because the underlying license was already placed on the market with the consent of the rightholder within the EU/EEA or Switzerland in return for appropriate remuneration. As a result, the so-called principle of exhaustion has taken effect, which permits the resale of individual product keys — in particular those originating from volume license agreements. Microsoft or the respective software provider has already received appropriate remuneration for this.

keys.express and keys.discount ensure that the aforementioned conditions are met and that the lawful use of the software is guaranteed. The requirements arising from European legislation are also observed in Switzerland.

Important note: The acquisition of a product key through the transmission of a combination of numbers and letters in digital form does not, in itself, constitute a license for the lawful use of the program. The license only arises from the respective installation and the associated acceptance of the manufacturer's terms of use.

Overview of the Most Important Legal Information

• We offer unused, non-activated product keys for the activation of the respective computer programs. The key alone is not yet a license.
• The license only arises from the respective installation and the resulting acceptance of the terms of use. These terms of use govern the right to use the software between you and the respective manufacturer.
• The principle of exhaustion has, as a rule, taken effect — i.e. the license is "used up" — as soon as it was lawfully placed on the market for the first time. The products concerned are software placed on the market for unlimited-time use in the form of an activatable product key with the option to download the program. Microsoft or the respective software provider has received appropriate remuneration for this.
• You gain access to particularly attractively priced product keys from volume license agreements, which are to be treated legally in the same way as parts of volume licenses upon first acquisition.
• The software itself is always the same original software that is also obtained through official download channels or manufacturer sources. You are therefore not paying for a different or inferior version, but for a valid activation key or a corresponding license.
• All brand names and brand logos are registered trademarks, whose use here serves solely for product description — the ownership rights lie with the respective trademark holder.
