Go with 2019 it has dark (black) mode and the later versions have more up to date features

Amazon has both versions. Just make sure you are buying authentic MS Office. I agree with @Edwin. Home and Student has everything most people use. Word is all I use and I'm embarrassed to admit it to all the big spenders here but it's an old 2007 Enterprise version. It hasn't been supported for a long time, but I'll ride that old horse as long as it continues to work.
If you don't want to spend the money OpenOffice is free and is 100% compatible with any file created in MS Office. It a really good substitute. If you need to send files to someone using Microsoft Office, save your file first in the native OpenOffice.org format, then save it to one of the many supported Microsoft Office formats.

I decide to "ave a larf" and ordered a cheap 2019 licence from a seller on Amazon (with intent of gifting it to a friend), and the key they sent had been used and I could not use it, and I complained (not really expecting any redress) but to be fair, they refunded my money immediately, and sent me a new licence gratis. Very nice I thought, but that failed in exactly same way LOL.

This just proves the old adage "if an offer looks to good to be true, it almost certainly is not true"!

This is so true. But people are going to get it anyway and other vendors will not take care of you like amazon.
