Again here is what the free
Outlook for Windows app looks like. Compare it to Outlook 2019 and Outlook 2021 below it. Now that I seem them side by side the difference is obvious. Outlook for Windows has launchers for Calendar, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Note these are for the free web versions of Microsoft 365. Outlook 2019 and Outlook 2021 do not have these launchers. In Outlook 2021 if I select to show the new version it looks just like
Outlook for Windows. What is strange it launches the web versions of the Word, Excel and PowerPoint
. That is kind of dumb when I have the full versions on my laptop. The web versions are not the same as the full versions.

I don't have Microsoft 365 but do I have Office 2019 Pro Plus & Office 2021 Pro Plus. I started up Outlook 2021 and saw this.

I guess this is what is called Office 2021 (classic). If I select
Try the new Outlook then it relaunches and looks just like the
Office for Windows app I got from the Microsoft Store.
This is what Outlook 2019 (classic) looks like. No option to update to the new version but I can if I search in the Start menu.
