Office 2024 and Windows Server: Which combination fits your IT strategy?

Microsoft Office 2024 has now been available for quite some time and is widely used in business environments. For many organizations, the preference remains with on-premise software solutions with one-time license costs, instead of Microsoft’s recurring subscriptions. This makes Office 2024 particularly attractive for companies that choose control, stability and predictable IT expenses.

Why is compatibility between Office 2024 and Windows Server essential?

Many organizations use Office 2024 within a server environment, such as with Remote Desktop Services or on a terminal server. An incorrect combination between Office and Windows Server can lead to delays, error messages or even security issues. That is why at Softtrader we always recommend choosing a supported and future-proof combination.

Is your organization still running on an outdated server version? Then it is wise to upgrade both your Office licenses and your Windows Server environment. Softtrader offers Pre-Owned licenses with which you can save up to 70% on your software costs. With our licenses, you don’t have to compromise on quality or legal certainty.

Which Windows Server versions are suitable for Office 2024?

The best combination is Office 2024 in combination with Windows Server 2025. At the time of writing, this latest server version is already available and offers advanced functionalities in the field of virtualization, security and AI integration. Windows Server 2025 aligns well with modern IT infrastructures and is prepared for future software updates.

Windows Server 2022 is also fully compatible with Office 2024. This version remains a good choice for organizations that are not yet ready to move to Windows Server 2025 but do want to benefit from stability and long-term support.

Windows Server 2019 can still be used, provided it is fully up to date. However, we recommend choosing the newer Windows Server 2022 or 2025 for new implementations or migrations.

Is your organization still using Windows Server 2016 or older? Then migration is necessary. These versions are no longer supported and pose a risk to your business continuity. Softtrader is happy to advise you on cost-efficient solutions.

Is your IT environment ready for Windows Server 2025?

Windows Server 2025 is more than just an upgrade. It offers benefits for companies that want to be prepared for the future. Think of faster performance, better scalability and extended support for hybrid environments. Organizations that invest in an infrastructure that is fully compatible with this latest server version will be future-proof.

Softtrader supports you with savings and the migration process. You can start today with Office 2024 and prepare your server environment for Server 2025. We help you select the right licenses tailored to your IT policy and budget.

How do you determine the right combination for your organization?

The best choice depends on your current IT environment, your security requirements and your budget. Are you already running on Windows Server 2022 or 2025? Then you can immediately switch to Office 2024 and benefit from solid compatibility. Are you still working with Office 2016 or 2019? Then this may be the right moment to upgrade, as support for these versions is coming to an end.
