Tag ¡ª if you had a proper registered Microsoft office on your old machine it should have come over if you did a ¡°restore¡± from your old Mac to the new one - unless the old one was corrupted in some way.
Or ¡.If it was old version then the new Mac may have rejected it if not compatible with latest system.
I buy the "home and student version¡± in a box from Apple shop¡¡. you get an empty box these days with a ¡®key¡± so its a matter of download over the web (I make a copy so I don¡¯t have to do it again and I have it on hand). Then all you do is insert the key and you are up and away. Easy. And it's price is modest for the value I get out of it. By the way I read in the new version coming for the Mac they have done away with the subscription 365.
As far as the subscription 365 ¡ª that has never been compulsory ¡ª I have never taken it on. When you installed from the boxed copy in the past it does ask you if you want that and yes it is a subscription ¡ª and even if you say no you can add it at a later date if you should require it - but in the next version that I understand it has been abandoned.
I can get into the 365 thing backdoor through my old hotmail address at least for parking files if I want :-)
We have been thinking about buying an electric vehicle ¡ª those up our valley who have already done so would be laughing with our petrol prices the way they are. But in order to do the miles we need to do in Australia we would have to go a bit higher end as regards battery capacity. I don¡¯t know if the locals who have the Teslas are just running daily to the office ¡ª which would be around 70k to the city and back. Yes and the home recharge thing I had realised would be an extra cost.
