I recently purchased a Mac Mini M2. I bought MS Office Home and Business for Mac 2021, but it was not compatible. The software link that I was provided kept downloading MS 365, which I did not want or order. I'm not sure which version of MS Office works with the M2 Mac Mini? Has anyone successfully downloaded MS Office on the M2 silicon?
Mac mini, macOS 13.2
Microsoft only supports the current 64-bit subscription Microsoft 365 and single-purchase Office 2021 for Mac suites. As Office 2019 for Mac will be retired in Fall 2023, it may work on Ventura, but I only have Office 2021 for Mac Home and Business on Ventura 13.3.
The currently supported Microsoft Office suites are Universal2 binary and will use the arm64 build of that container when run on Apple Silicon Macs. Rosetta2 does not apply with a Universal2 bundle on Apple Silicon.

in theory all but office 2011 should work being 64bit, but don't believe ms support 2016 any more
think only 365 is native arm (m2) the others would be running Rosetta stone 2, so the day an macOS update kills off Rosetta stone 2 the office suit would stop working
Which version of Microsoft Office is compatible with the M2 silicon chip?
