Word 2010 versus Word 365

I have Word 2010 installed on my computer, which has Windows 7 OS.  MSN is asking me to purchase Word 365, which I understand has various benefits including cloud storage, and which I have been testing as proposed.  However, I do not need cloud storage, and do not see other advantages.  It tells me to hurry up, as most features of Word will be disabled on October 28.  What will be disabled ?  Will I be able to continue to use Word 2010 as before ?

Do you by chance have a trial version of Word 2010 that came installed on your computer?
If not, have you been "testing" Word 365? That would be consistent with the message that you need to purchase.

If you installed a trial of Word 365, you need to uninstall it and reregister your Word 2010 with your computer (not with MS).
