hi, coming from windows to macbook pro (macOS) do i need to pay for microsoft office to use powerpoint/words/excel etc?

I dont have microsoft 365..

tyvm

Paid unpaid whatever u want also can

Office 365 RM3-6 at Shopee kaudim for both Mac OS and Windows...

care to elaborate? what do i get for paid, and unpaid?

RM3 to 6? do you have a link for it? ty

uhhh but careful on ur data privacy ohwai

I think you are confused. No matter you are using Microsoft Windows or MacOS, Microsoft Office are sold separately and you got to pay them to use it. Unless you use a hack version, which would consider as pirate. There are many alternative out there, LibreOffice is quite a good choice if you do not want to pay for Microsoft Office. Otherwise, if you can learn new things with new logic, then you can utilise MacOS iWork (number, keynote, page).

Thanks, maybe I should ask what’s the most commonly used Microsoft office on macOs by most people? Do people normally use free versions or best to pay for licenses just like windows?

personally I subscribe MS365 and share with another 5 friends. It only cost me RM5 a month, or RM60 a year. I use MS365 acc in MacBook, iPad, and iPhone, which the normal one-time-off Office 2020/2018 cannot do that.

I use mostly Microsoft Excel for work....and for personal stuff, I tends to use iWorks and share in iCloud.

I use this kind of acc before, but it block me after 1 year like that. Then, only I found there is huge flaw in security, the admin will be able to control/manage my file directly, either copy them or delete them.

I just bought Office 365 at half price from Tesco online. Plus paired it with multiple voucher, share with 5 friends. About RM22 for the entire year lol. Coming from Windows as well & since my personal machine will be my work machine as well, I will not risk trying to save too much money paying few bucks to get some shady version of Office 365.

I just used it for Word and Excel. Never use the OneDrive to store personal files.

If it gets blocked then buy another. But mine been using it for more than 3 years and hasn't got blocked yet.

Thanks for sharing the link

Hmmm I’d rather not take any risks like that

Can’t find any friends to share these

Thanks, very good deal...but I don’t think I have friends looking to share licenses though..Is this the same concept as the Shopee link above?

you can try ask in FB, lowyat forum etc. you will be surprised. I use this trick on Spotify & Netflix as well.

Actually if it's just you, I happen to have one last slot left. Can't find anyone to fill it from my friend circle. PM if you want it. Price is as indicated above But you have to wait a few days until it arrives.

Thanks, I’m definitely keen. But I’m confused, is this the one that was mentioned above about the data privacy risk? Or this m365 is a different thing and it’s completely safe?

ms365 family is safe...the cheapo ms365 is actually institution acc...which has ultimate admin that can control and manage...

Thanks bro

Yes. Just subscribe to 365 Personal. Yearly or monthly also can. I opt for monthly.

I'm using the 365, good for 5 machines regardless of OS. So far, I have 365 on 2 Windows laptops, 1 Mac laptop, 1 Mac desktop, and 1 iPad. I bought it mainly for 1TB cloud storage.
