Please excuse my ignorance here.
My wife purchased me Home and Office 2024 for Christmas. She did not know or was unaware I already have the 2021 version. I didn't want her to feel bad about getting it for me as I really didn't need it. She always has a hard time buying me gifts....
Anyhow, I went thru the install process and entered the code etc. Everything seemed fine but when I clicked on the About in Office to check the version my frustration level exceeded what it should be at 8:00 AM. As you can see in the image it shows 365 and Office 2024. How or where did 365 get loaded?
My next question is when i look at the version #s for 2021 and 2024 they are the same on Microsoft's web site. Also, is it normal for under installed programs to still show 2021 is installed along with 2024 on my computer?
Why must MS be so confusing with this? Thanks for any help ya'll can provide.

That’s not uncommon.
I also see Microsoft 365 with the Office 2024 which I have purchased.

Under account, just go to Microsoft 365 and disable it from updating.
