Should I buy Microsoft 365 Personal or Family?
Short answer
Family at €99/year covers up to six people with 1 TB OneDrive each. Personal at €69/year covers one user with 1 TB. If two or more people in your household will use it, Family is cheaper per person.
The longer explanation
يكلّف Family نحو 99 يورو سنويًا ويضيف خمسة مقاعد لأشخاص إضافيين دون رسوم — لكل شخص حق تثبيت Word وExcel وPowerPoint وOutlook و1 تيرابايت من OneDrive وحساب Microsoft خاص. يهبط سعر الشخص الواحد من 69 يورو (Personal) إلى نحو 16.50 يورو سنويًا عند شغل المقاعد الستة.
يناسب Personal الشخص الوحيد في المنزل أو من يمتلك أفراد أسرته اشتراكات M365 مستقلة عبر العمل أو الدراسة. يدعم كلا الاشتراكين إضافة Copilot Pro بالسعر نفسه، لذا فإن Family يمنحك قيمة مضاعفة فقط إذا كان عدة أفراد من العائلة سيستخدمون Copilot فعليًا.

Yes in most countries — Microsoft sells OEM keys to system builders, and reselling unused, unbound OEM keys is permitted in the EU under the UsedSoft v Oracle ruling (CJEU C-128/11). In the US, OEM keys are legal once detached from the original system as part of a single transfer.
What's the difference between Office 2024 and Microsoft 365?
Office 2024 is a one-time purchase that locks the apps at their October 2024 version forever. Microsoft 365 is a subscription that includes the same apps plus 1 TB OneDrive, monthly feature updates, Outlook with email hosting (Business plans) and Copilot eligibility — but stops working when you cancel.
