MacBook Air M2

[reteP llewoN]

I am thinking of buying the MacBook Air M2 . I currently have a Windows desktop running Windows 11.
I have many word files - DOCX.
I am trying to avoid Windows and subscriptions. I currently own Home and Student 2019 for another bit of time. I prefer to avoid it.
Is it possible to transfer the many Windows files to the MacBook Air with .pages?
If so when I do, would they become .Pages?
If they were .Pages that would be fine as long and I could send or export them as Word or PDF.
How do I transfer the Word files formatted as NTFS to the Mac Air? I know it has its own APFS format and can read and write exfat.
Do I copy and paste, or drag and drop, or import from Mac.
Should I format the flash drive as exfat?

word files are not formatted as NFTS, thats a harddrive format, your .docx files can be transferred over a usb stick formatted in fat32 or fat, as for office, you can get a osx version of office for 50 bucks.

exFAT is useful if you have files larger than 4GB. Otherwise, to transfer files between Windows and macOS on a flash drive, FAT32 is enough. Most USB flash are already FAT32 or exFAT. So you don't have to do anything. Buy, plug, transfer, done.
