@AdamAbdallah-2540,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
Where did you download the Office Deployment Tool(ODT)?
To better analyze this issue, please provide more details or some screenshots with us. Thanks for your understanding.
Please try to download the latest version of ODT from this page: Download Office Deployment Tool.
For more information: Overview of the Office Deployment Tool.
Any updates, pelase let me know.

@AdamAbdallah-2540,
Thanks for your reply and clarification.
I found what you mentioned, as shown below.
According to my understanding, the version numbers of Office 2016, 2019, 365 and the Office 2021 LTSC Preview you downloaded are all 16.0. They can be deployed and installed through the same ODT.
The version number of Office 2013 is 15.0, and you will find that the ODT where it is deployed shows "The Microsoft Office 2013 Click-to-Run Administrator Tool".
You could go to Registry Editor to confirm this.
< Office 2016 is a transitional version of the version number, so it can help users determine the downloaded Office version number, but it's more than that.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Hi @AdamAbdallah-2540,

Hi, I downloaded the latest version from the link you gave me (Which was the same link I downloaded it from before) and the title still showed "Office 2016 Administrator Click to Run Tool". I tried installing anyways despite the window's title and it did install Office 2021 LTSC Preview. I think you just need to update the title of the Office deployment tool's window.
