microsoft may know the answer to that one.
Hey, speaking of outlook. If I upgrade from outlook 2010 with my outlook key. Do I have to pay for the upgrade? I don’t care if I do. I am inquiring. Thanks.

Your version number suggests you have some kind of subscription and Office 365 is the only recent offerings I know of. So, if that is the case you probably just need to login to your Microsoft account (via the File menu using that account management option) and update. I did just that about 2 weeks ago.
Compared to 2016, the latest Office has been working better in my experiences. Even the calendar is becoming more and more useable.
