I wish I could buy the entire company and install it on my laptop, lol
You made my day. Sorry my mistake, I should have been more descriptive. i mean to say their software for a new laptop.I think your laptop most likely would have already come with Windows 10 Home. I am no expert at reading and understanding licensing terms. But from my understanding, technically you cannot use OEM windows for commercial use.
Would you need your own website? Business grade email? How many computers will you have?
We are building our own website, currently using gmail for company use, we may have 3 computers once business establish, starting with 2.golden_m wrote: ↑ Would you need your own website? Business grade email? How many computers will you have?
I would recommend going with Microsoft 365 solution - you can have it as a software only or software + mailbox subscription.
Feel free to drop me a line, will be happy to help with more details
If you are building your website that means you will have your own domain name. That's good and your email will look professional. Microsoft 365 combo of a mailbox and Microsoft Office suite subscription will cost you about $16/month for one user. In return, you will get a fully-featured mailbox with the ability to share calendars and contacts between users, 1TB of storage for your personal files, and also Microsoft SharePoint (cloud shared server) to share your files and documents with other users. As long as you keep the subscription active, you will be able to enjoy the full capabilities of the Microsoft Office suite. There are few other features that this subscription will provide, like MS Teams, but I am not sure if it will be relevant to your business.
yes, you are correct. But then again, what about your rent it you are in the hospital for a year? What about your car lease if you are in the hospital for a year?GoodFellaz wrote: ↑ a lot of people forget, microsoft office 365 you need to pay every year for it, even if you are sick and in the hospital for a year on bed rest and dont use your computer, you still have to pay a fee. you can also buy the old style microsoft office where you install it and you pay just one time for the software and dont pay yearly subscription fees
Believe me I know that paying the subscription for it gets you top notch product. This site is also called Red Flag DEALS, and paying a one time purchase for office and not having all the bells and whistles and having enough features to use comfortably, and keeping it for 6 to 8 years on your computer is also a really good deal. We NEED office now a days to create and read documents, its a must, but all the top of the line features from office are not a must, those are more of a "nice to have" so in the eyes of someone looking for a DEAL. hence posting on red flag DEALS., i highly recommend get the one time purchase and use it for 6 to 8 yearsgolden_m wrote: ↑ yes, you are correct.

Do you see where I am getting with this?
One person gets to the hospital or gets sick does not mean business has to stop. One person stops using the computer - another one will replace him, you know "Show must go on"!
I am personally using Microsoft 365 subscription for my business and I implement this for my clients. While I don't like the idea of forever paying the vendor for a subscription, I see how well it is working and how little time I spend on maintenance of my email system. The $16/month gives you a nice, feature-rich package that is always up to date and you don't needto buy it again in a few years because Microsoft stopped releasing updates for a EOL product. And believe me, in this age of technology, being up to date means a lot.
