• Installation on macOS won't start: If macOS blocks the installation, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and allow the installation file to run. Make sure you have administrator rights.
• Message “This version is not compatible": This message appears on macOS versions that Microsoft no longer supports (Monterey 12, Ventura 13). Update your macOS version to at least Sonoma 14 to install Office 2024.
