The basic functionality of Word and Excel available in a lighter and a bit more user-friendly package For example, both Word Starter 2010 and Excel Starter 2010 don't come with support for Add-ins, Comments, and SmartArt Graphics, just to give you a taste of what's what. Speaking of limitations, we recommend you check out the Limitations section on our page since there are quite a few. The first thing you should know about Microsoft Office Starter 2010 is the fact that it consists out of functionality-limited versions of Microsoft's famous word processing and spreadsheet apps, dubbed Word Starter 2010 and Excel Starter 2010 in this case (no PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook, we're afraid). Users running WIndows 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 won't be able to install this product, unfortunately. However, you might still be able to find a proper use for it, especially if you're running an older version of Windows such as Windows Vista or Windows 7. This particular 'lite' version used to come pre-bundled on computers and laptops from various manufacturers years ago, like Dell or HP and, since it's no longer officially supported, it can't be upgraded to a fully functional version of Office 2010 via online purchase. As you might be able to tell just by reading its name, Microsoft Office Starter 2010 is a stripped-down version of Microsoft Office 2010.
