Need help getting free Microsoft PowerPoint on MacBook Pro

[niffler]

I just got a refurbished MacBook Pro (2011-13 I believe?) since my old one just died... I had all of the major Microsoft programs on them for school and now I cannot remember how I did it. If anyone could talk me through it or link me that would be amazing.

Go to the Mac App Store and install the apps for free. They work great as readers. You just can't save documents without a license. There has never been a free version of Office.

Perhaps your school has an agreement with Microsoft that allows you to download the Office suite either for free or at a discounted price? Many schools and universities have that. Or, if you need Powerpoint, you can always use the free Keynote provided by Apple. Keynote will open Powerpoint files.

My university has a partnership with Microsoft and all students/faculty get Office365 while their campu email account is active. You could investigate that.

Many universities have an Office 365 subscription, try logging in to the Office 365 with your university student email and password. If you can log in, you will find a link to download Office 365 from there which you can install on your computer.
