Office 2019 und Windows 11: Eine beliebte und gleichzeitig perfekte Verbindung - Engelmann Software
With the introduction of Windows 11, many users are asking: How well does my existing Office 2019 work on the new operating system? After all, Windows 11 and Office 2021 were released at the same time and were therefore seemingly made for each other. The answer to the question is simple – Office 2019 and Windows 11 harmonize perfectly! The Office 2019 Suite is fully compatible with Windows 11. In this post, we'll show you how the interaction between Office 2019 and Windows 11 not only works smoothly, but also what advantages both systems offer users – individually and in teamwork. And for anyone who would like to delve a little deeper into Office 2019 afterwards, we have a small surprise at the end of the blog post 😉  

Windows 11

We focused a lot on Windows 11 early on and also provided extensive information about it: Neuheiten von Windows 11: Der Startbildschirm We love the new operating system, which significantly improves the user experience with a multitude of strengths. Among the most notable advantages, in our opinion, are the revised and user-friendly interface with a centralized Start menu and new Snap Layouts, which facilitate multitasking. Furthermore, Windows 11 offers improved performance and higher efficiency, especially on modern hardware platforms. The enhanced security features provide comprehensive protection against current threats, while regular updates ensure the system's stability and reliability. These strengths make Windows 11 an ideal operating system for productive and secure work environments. Our own software solutions also harmonized perfectly with Windows 11 from the outset.  

Office 2019

We have also reported on Office 2019 and introduced all the programs to you. Tips and tricks for individual programs can be found on our blog, including more detailed information on Microsoft Word: [caption id="attachment_146300" align="aligncenter" width="1500"]Office 2019: Ein Überblick Office 2016, Office 2019, Office 2021, Office 365 or Microsoft 365 – as the Office software is now called, is available as an app for smartphone and tablet, for Android and Mac. No matter which version you install, you are using a modern, powerful suite with programs for every situation.[/caption] We also think the new Office 2019 is great. At least I haven't switched to 2021 yet and am currently using Office 2019 – also in conjunction with Windows 11. Office 2019 has many strengths that make it a powerful suite for professional and private users. For me, the most important advantages include the comprehensive and mature applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, which I use very regularly. Office 2019 also offers advanced features such as improved data analysis tools in Excel, new presentation functions in PowerPoint, and advanced word processing features in Word.  

Interaction between Office 2019 and Windows 11

Now let's take a look at the teamwork between Office 2019 and Windows 11.  

1. Optimal performance, reliable and compatible

The performance of Office 2019 on Windows 11 is remarkable. Thanks to the improved system architecture of Windows 11, Office applications run faster and more stably. Users report a smoother experience, especially when editing large files or complex spreadsheets. The seamless integration ensures that they experience no compatibility issues and can start working productively immediately. I also occasionally work with extremely large PowerPoint files (high-resolution images, embedded videos, individual effects, etc.), but with this combination – Office 2019 and Windows 11 – I have never had any problems. However, I can still clearly remember long loading and saving times, as well as system and application crashes. These occurred much more frequently with older Office and Windows combinations.  

2. Integration of new features

Windows 11 offers numerous new features that specifically enhance the use of Office 2019. Improved touch and pen support, for example, is a great advantage for those who use OneNote or the annotation function in PowerPoint. With a digital pen, you can write directly on your screen and add drawings or notes. This is particularly useful in meetings or during brainstorming sessions. Another significant feature is the improved virtual desktop environment. With Windows 11, you can efficiently manage multiple virtual desktops, allowing you to organize different Office applications on different desktops. For example, you can set up one desktop for document editing in Word and another for data analysis in Excel, thereby clearly separating your workflows and increasing your productivity.

3. Security and Updates

Another important aspect is the enhanced security and regular updates of Windows 11. Continuous security updates keep your system protected from threats. Your Office 2019 applications also stay up to date. This gives you peace of mind that your data is secure and you can concentrate on your work without worrying about security risks. An upgrade to Office 2021 is therefore not necessary.  

Conclusion

Numerous users, including myself, have had exclusively positive experiences with the combination of Office 2019 and Windows 11. And anyone who takes the time to browse relevant forums will find very few problems where the interaction of Office 2019 with Windows 11 was the cause. Here, praise and positive feedback predominate.
