Frequently asked questions​

  • You can’t mix 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft solutions. To resolve this, you’ll need to uninstall your current 64-bit version of Office and install the 32-bit version instead. Please refer to this support page for further instructions.
  • Running different versions of Office and Visio depends on the installation technology used to install the products. For compatibility, the rules are:
    • You can’t install two products together that have the same version but use different installation technologies.
    • You can’t install two products of different versions together if both products use Click-to-Run as the installation technology and those products have overlapping Office applications.
    Please refer to this support page for more compatibility details and here for volume licensing installation. 
  • For a non-subscription version (Visio Standard or Visio Professional), use the same product key you used for your existing app to download Visio onto your new machine. Sign in with an existing Microsoft account and enter your product key at microsoft365.com/setup. Redeeming your key links your account with the Visio app. Once you’ve completed these steps, follow these additional steps to download Visio and get more details. For more details about installing Visio, please visit this support page.
  • All currently supported versions of Visio will run on Windows 11. This includes Visio Plan 1 and Plan 2 and the 2013, 2016, and 2019 non-subscription versions of Visio. Your old Visio files won’t be compromised when you upgrade to a newer version of Visio; your files will work as expected in the new version. However, Visio automatically blocks opening any pre-2013 Visio file. To resolve this, please visit this support page.
  • Yes, the current version of Visio is compatible with older versions. Yes, you can open files created in the current version with an older version and vice versa. Please note, the current version (by default) saves drawings as a .vsdx file. Whereas the 2003 version saves them as a .vsd file, so you will need to save your drawing as a .vsd file to open it in an older version of Visio.
  • Current versions of Visio offer Information Rights Management (IRM) features. In non-subscription versions of Visio, go to File > Info > Protect Diagram > Restrict Access.
  • Data linking is only available through the Visio desktop app, but you can still  view data-linked diagrams in Visio for the web. Visio currently supports multiple data sources, including:
     
    • Microsoft Excel workbooks 
    • Microsoft Access databases
    • Microsoft SharePoint Foundation lists  
    • Microsoft SQL Server databases
    • Microsoft Exchange Server directories 
    • Microsoft Entra ID information
    • Other OLEDB or ODBC data sources
