Office 2016 might not work on a Windows 11 PC. Lots of legacy software doesn't work correctly on newer PC's.
At one point you could buy office or pay the subscription, now I think it is subscription only, but you can buy 1 subscription and run it on multiple PC's.
Luckily, I don't have to pay for Office365 as we are allowed to install up to 20 personal copies of the full version Office 2023 on our personal computers. Included as part of our enterprise subscription.
If I leave, I will still pay for Office365 subscription as it also includes 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage. IMO, a valuable feature.
WIN 10/11 can automatically backup and encrypt your libraries such as My Documents, Desktop, and Pictures to OneDrive. You still have a local copy available, though WIN 10/11 can optionally monitor if you don't access any of those library files regularly and keep the file on OneDrive only. It will remove the local copy so doesn't eat up your drive space. But will keep the file name intact with a cloud symbol. Clicking the file name downloads the file locally. Especially useful if you have a smaller drive on your computer.
Also, you have access to your files from any of your computers or mobile device. If you experience a drive failure or other malware, you can restore and re-sync your library files back to any of your computers.

I'm still on Win10 (by choice) and removed MS365 and installed an older version of Office. No problems.
Before installing older version , When asked for MS Account info, did you create a new account or use what was already registered?

WIN 11 is basically just a rebranded version of WIN 10 with new interface and updated security requirements. The kernel is basically the same as WIN 10 for compatibility reasons. In fact, our chief endpoint support tech says he comes across components in WIN 11 still labeled as WIN 10.
If you're running WIN 10 with hardware that says does not qualify for WIN 11, you can still upgrade it manually. You just can't do an automatic upgrade. In any case, you have until mid-2025 end-of-life for WIN 10 support. The question is whether you want to get WIN 11 while it's a free upgrade, or pay for it later.
There is always a risk of running outdated OS or software no longer supported with security patches. As one might recall the WannaCry ransomware infected over 70% of WIN 7 machines through an unpatched vulnerability. Hackers are just too sophisticated and organized these days. Even to the point of running their own malware cloud services anyone can rent.

It's going to kill Microsoft just like it killed IBM , to their credit when you leased an IBM computer, they included maintenance and service. Updates etc.. and the machines cost way to much for any but there largest companies to even consider purchasing, Microsoft doesn't own your PC or mine, Most people me included , will not upgrade the version of windows on their PC, what ever it came with we will keep, Bills major income is derived from what MFG pay to include windows on the PCs they sell, we the public spending money for new versions of windows for our PC has really dropped off,$49 for Win 6, yeah maybe, because being a geek, the avg home user Hundreds of dollars for windows 11no way, they just keep using what came on the machine, even gels chops to not buy new versions of windows,
the leasing option for things like "Office" is his way of creating new "renewal" revenue streams,
It's his company and he donates a lot of his personal wealth to good causes, he wants to keep the company prosperous
But I Can Not understand it for you !

Only if you saved those files on your !TB OneDrive account. Just move those files (or copies) to your local HD/SSD to retain them. You always have a choice to save MS365 files to your local computer if you wish.

I don't know the answer, but I've had great success using "Open Office" from Apache.
I have not used Office 365.
