Got Microsoft Office 2024, and now it says I need to be signed in with a Microsoft account in order to use it.

I recently got a copy of Microsoft Office 2024, and now when I open it, it says I have to make a Microsoft account to continue using it. I’ve been using it fine for 5 months, and now it decides to say something. I’m not going to start signing into Windows with a Microsoft account because I just want to use office. In that case, I’ll stop using office because there is no way I’m letting Microsoft give me personalized advertisements and pop ups saying to backup my computer to OneDrive. I don’t need it.

Is there anyway to get rid of this? Even reinstalling would be fine for me. If nothing works, I’m going to stop using it.
