Microsoft 365 Basic vs. Microsoft 365 Personal

I somehow have a monthly subscription - Microsoft 365 Basic, and a yearly subscription - Microsoft 365 Personal. What is the difference, and will I loose any of my information if I unsubscribe to the monthly account?

o365 Basic includes only 100gb OneDrive wheras o365 includes 1Tb and the desktop components

Hi, JenniferTrauth

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Regarding your question, Microsoft 365 Basic and Microsoft 365 Personal have some key differences:

-> Microsoft 365 Basic:

-> Microsoft 365 Personal:

If you unsubscribe from the Microsoft 365 Basic plan, you won't lose any of your information. Your data will remain in your OneDrive account, but you will need to ensure you don't exceed the storage limit of your remaining subscription. Since Microsoft 365 Personal includes 1TB of storage, you should have plenty of space for your files.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Best regards,

I DO NOT want my school district to have access to my account files! Do you have a specific teacher discount?
