The new version of Office is currently in beta testing. Since there are several Qualcomm SoCs in the official list of processors compatible with Windows 11, the appearance of Office for computers with ARM processors looks quite logical. It is worth noting that at this stage the office applications do not support some of the features available in the standard versions of the Office suite.

Microsoft also announced an updated Office design that will be available in beta versions of Windows 11 as well as Windows 10.
