Microsoft Office 2013 (codenamed Office 15[6]) is a version of Microsoft Office, a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. Unlike with Office 2010, no OS X equivalent was released.
Microsoft Office 2013 includes extended file format support, user interface updates and support for touch among its new features and is suitable for IA-32 and x64 systems.[7]
Office 2013 is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.[8][9][10][11][8] A version of Office 2013 comes included on RT devices.[12][3] It is the last version of Microsoft Office to support Windows 7 RTM and Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM.
Development on this version of Microsoft Office was started in 2010 and ended on October 11, 2012, when Microsoft Office 2013 was released to manufacturing.[13] Microsoft released Office 2013 to general availability on January 29, 2013.[1] This version includes new features such as integration support for online services (including OneDrive, Outlook.com, Skype, Yammer and Flickr), improved format support for Office Open XML (OOXML), OpenDocument (ODF) and Portable Document Format (PDF) and support for multi-touch interfaces.
Microsoft Office 2013 comes in twelve different editions, including three editions for retail outlets, two editions for volume licensing channel, five subscription-based editions available through Microsoft Office 365 program, the web application edition known as Office Web Apps and the Office RT edition made for tablets and mobile devices. Office Web Apps are available free of charge on the web although enterprises may obtain on-premises installations for a price. Microsoft Office applications may be obtained individually; this includes Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Project and Microsoft SharePoint Designer which are not included in any of the twelve editions.
Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on February 25, 2014.[14] Support for the original release (RTM) ended on April 14, 2015, and Service Pack 1 is required for receiving updates and support. Support for Office 2013 ended on April 11, 2023.[15]
On June 9, 2018, Microsoft announced that its forums would no longer include Office 2013 or other products in extended support among its products for discussions involving support.[16] On August 27, 2021, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Outlook 2013 SP1 with all subsequent updates will be required to connect to Microsoft 365 Exchange servers by November 1, 2021; Outlook 2013 without SP1 will no longer be supported.[17][18][additional citation(s) needed][inconsistent]
Office 2013 removed support for processors without PAE, SSE2 and NX and is also the final version of Microsoft Office that supports processors without PrefetchW, LAHF and SAHF. Its successor, Office 2016, requires a processor with PrefetchW, LAHF and SAHF in any supported architecture. It is also the final version of Microsoft Office to receive a Service Pack from Microsoft.
Despite the end of support for Office 2013 in April, Microsoft is still rolling out monthly security patches for the Office suite programs as of November 2023.[19][20]
