Morning all
I hope everybody is well.
I recently bought a a used MacBook Pro Retina 13' Early 2015 to see if I liked the Mac over my windows laptop....ive never used anything other than an iPhone historically so know nothing about Apples OS.
My MacBook has Catalina installed and to try various apps before I officially buy them if I liked them, I downloaded Office 2019 via a torrent, Winrar via a torrent and investigated how to set up my MacBook to accept apps from ALL.
The files downloaded were DMG files, but neither installed, inexplicably the only thing that installed was Adobe Reader...
As I said, I simply want to test the applications to see if I can use them as I love the MacBook, if I like them I will buy them, but so far I can't install / trial any of these downloads.
Am I being dumb...does Catalina not allow cracked apps to be installed, do I need to buy the original apps and take a chance on not liking them and wasting my money?
Any help offered is hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance
