In October 2021 I purchased Microsoft Office 2019 along with my Mac through Apple.com. It's now October 2024 and I'm unable to use my Office product because of my current IOS 15. I have to downgrade to IOS 13 or re-purchase Office to accommodate my current IOS.
It's cheaper to downgrade, can someone please give me DETAILED instruction on how to do this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0
An excellent alternative to MS Office is LibreOffice. It can open, edit and save Office documents in either the MS Office format or its own format. And the best part, it's free.

Downgrading isn't supported by Apple.
I assume you mean macOS, not iOS. iOS runs on iPhones.
Downgrading to an earlier version of macOS is not going to be an easy task. You would need to make sure you have copies of all your data, then completely wipe the machine and install the earlier version of macOS.
Save yourself the hassle and just purchase the current version of office, subscribe to Microsoft 365, or find an alternative office suite.
This is why before upgrading an operating system you confirm that your apps will continue to work after the upgrade. Update your Microsoft Office version.
Fantastic! Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into it. The main goal for me is lowest cost & functionality.
Must downgrade to IOS 13 to use Office 2019 purchase
