what did I buy?

Hi,

That’s a great question, and I’d be happy to help clarify this for you.

Microsoft doesn’t usually offer a direct “upgrade price,” so it’s typically treated as a new purchase.

A one-time purchase (Office 2024) usually costs a fixed amount, which may vary depending on your region.

To clarify, have you already purchased the one-time Office 2024, or are you still planning to buy it?

If you’re still planning, you can check the official page here:

You didn't answer my question.

my order history doesn't show any purchases.

The exact amount paid for upgrading from Office 2013 to Office 2024 cannot be determined from the available information. Pricing depends on where and when the purchase was made and which specific edition was chosen (for example, Office Home 2024, Office Home & Business 2024, or a Microsoft 365 subscription).

From the context provided:

• Office 2024 is sold as a one-time purchase: a single, up-front cost for one PC or Mac. There is no discounted upgrade price from older versions like Office 2013; upgrading means buying the new version at full price.
• Alternatively, Microsoft 365 is a subscription (monthly or yearly) that always includes the latest Office apps and features.

To see what was actually bought and how much it cost, check the order history in the Microsoft account used for the purchase (Services & subscriptions section) or the original purchase receipt from the retailer.
