Yes, I run office 2013 with an outlook on all 4 of my computers. I did hove Office 2007 which was still working but when MS dropped support I upgraded to 2013, I also Use MS Outlook.com email addresses these can be accessed from anywhere with the correct user name and password. I use them inside Office Outlook. I seldom access them Remotely for any other computer but I can should I need to. Most of these are free accounts I do have one paid one that I use for my Consulting Business. They all sync, they all will sync to my smartphone. And they are low maintenance. My wife's all in one still on 8.1 when outlook express was depreciated just switched to a Gmail account. I believe
windows do have some sort of email program built-in or maybe its a desktop version of @outlook.com account not sure since I have used MS Office for so many years, outlook Express was never up to my level of email uses.
