Purchase Outlook 2019 stand-alone to upgrade existing copy of Outlook 2007 stand-alone

Hi,

I'm using Outlook 2007 on my desktop. Because of the recent changes in Google's GMail security, I need to upgrade to Outlook 2019. I would prefer to buy the stand-alone traditional desktop software rather than the new 360 web-served software. I've seen websites that claim to sell Outlook 2019 access/authorization codes that Microsoft will honor, but they seem dicey to me so I'd like to buy from Microsoft directly unless someone can recommend a specific site as being legitimate.

I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to two links:

1. Is it possible to buy Outlook 2019 stand-alone directly from Microsoft or a legitimate 3rd party retailer?

2. Are instructions on upgrading from Outlook 2007 to 2019 available?

Thank you very much for the help!

Dave

Hi David,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you.

My first rule when buying licenses/product keys from a 3rd party retailer is if the price is way too low and not somewhere near the retail price of Microsoft, there's something fishy about it. I already saw a lot of people buying licenses for a very cheap price but ended up getting a blocked license or an evaluation license. If you are in the US, the safest way to purchase a license outside Microsoft is through physical stores such as WalMart, Target, or BestBuy. You may buy a standalone license for Outlook 2019 directly from Microsoft Store for $139.00 if you're in the US https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p....

There is no upgrade path for Office programs, you would need to install it separately from Office 2007 and then setup up your email on it after installation. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-an...

I hope the information I provided will help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,
