cannot update apps in App Store. I don't have another Apple ID

I bought a new MacBook Pro recently. In the App Store, it told me that the app page, number and keynote can be update. but when I click update, it said I cannot update it because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID.


I have just logged in one Apple ID since the MacBook Pro come to my hand. what id should I log in?

MacBook

This sounds like a used MacBook Pro. The previous owner has already registered those free apps to their Apple ID.


Delete them and download them with your Apple ID.
