Because Office 2021 doesn't support High Sierra.

It requires macOS Catalina, 10.15 or later.

I have an iMac 2011 with Yosemite operating system (v10.10.5) - Can I use Office 2021 I have an iMac 2011 with Yosemite operating system v10.10.5. I use mine (basically) just for word, excel and outlook so I don't want to get a new computer. This one has been working fine. I tried purchasing Office 365 (cloud) but I couldn't download it because of my operating system. It said I need to update my system. I was told by a sales person I can buy Office 2021 but I am not 100% sure it will work. Will I be able to download Office 2021 on this computer? If not, do you know what I need to do to update my computer before downloading it rather than buying a new computer? Thank you!

The only solutions are, upgrade your Mac if possible, use an Office alternative such as LibreOffice, or replace your Mac with a newer model.

Another vote for LibreOffice.
