And? No takers? I wonder why. Maybe the question is unclear? This is
really surprising :)

What is M365? Is it a part of Microsoft Office 365, aka "O365"? Is it
related to M-16? What di you mean by "driver suitable for Windows 10"?
If the driver can be installed and configured by the MS ODBC driver
administrator, then I guess it's suitable. Make sure the driver you use
is mauve, they take the least RAM

What part of Office 365 do you want the compatibility with? Excel?

I don't. ODBC drivers implement the same protocol when communicating
with the database and they all work the same. Here is what I have:

[mgogala(at)umajor ~]$ rpm -qa *odbc*
oracle-instantclient-odbc-21.5.0.0.0-1.x86_64
postgresql-odbc-13.01.0000-2.fc36.x86_64
msodbcsql17-17.10.1.1-1.x86_64
[mgogala(at)umajor ~]$

The string "f36" in the PostgreSQL ODBC package name denotes a very
special version of Windows, more advanced than even Windows 11. I was
able to connect all 3 of the drivers above to LibreOffice and use them
to query the underlying database. I was able to do the same on my
Windows 8.1, with all 3 of those drivers.

Suitable how? What exactly do you want to do? What does the word
"suitable" even mean in the context you're using it?

There is this site named "https://www.google.com" which can be used to
find a lot of useful information and some paid ads, too. As of lately, I
prefer DDG, but that's just a personal preference.

If there were no takers for the first question, that may say something
about the question. At this point, you gotta ask yourself one question
only: do I feel lucky?
