The new app focuses less on Office 365, more on free stuff.
[TEXT ONLY ... Links at the CNet page.]
Microsoft's new Office app is available now for all Windows 10 users, Microsoft announced in a blog post Wednesday. The app, which was announced in December, replaces the current My Office app.
The new app is designed to be more useful to Office users by letting them launch documents, access Office desktop apps and more. While the soon-to-be-replaced My Office app has most of these features, the new one focuses on free elements.
With the new app, you can find your way around with tutorials, tips, tricks and more -- but no Clippy. Microsoft Office joined the Mac App Store earlier this year.
The new Office app is free and comes preinstalled on Windows 10, so you don't need to buy Office 365 to use it.

I hate Microsoft.
I have Windows 10. Somehow or other Microsoft keeps saying I need to update it.
I don’t use any ‘office’ programs. I don’t use Microsoft’s email. I don’t play online games.
What the heck do I need Microsoft for?
Many updates are to plug security holes.
Windows 10 uses Windows Defender.
Yes, it does. That doesn’t mean you don’t need to update.
Windows 10 says it’s updated and when Microsoft sends me a request to send a code to update me it does not recognize my email. Makes no sense to me.
Do you have automatic updating enabled?
MS loads my updates and installs them when I click on an alert or when I restart the computer.
I’ve never had to email them.
yes. it activates automatically
#9 You can go to Ebay and buy Office for $50 or less.
