    On a Windows 10/11 machine, is it possible to run at once:

    Office 2024 + Office 2021?
    or
    Office 2024 + Office 2019?
    or
    Office 2024 + Office 2016?

    What do you mean "same base"?
    Anyway, is it possible to have both in coexistence?

    You haven't answered my question, is it possible to have two versions in the same PC?

    Office 2016+ and 365 use the exactly same files for working, the only change is the license
    Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 can coexist, but O2016, 2019, 2021 or 2024 and 265 not because the files are the same with different license
    Examples:
    Office 2007 + 2024: possible
    Office 2007 + 365: possible
    Office 2016 + 2024: not possible

    Thank you, I've just found that 2013 can coexist with O365 by just installing it a few minutes ago. Thanks again both for your kind help.
