migrating Office for Mac 2011 from old MacBook to New MacBook

How can I move my Office for Mac 2011 from my old MacBook to my new MacBook? I don't need Office 365, nor do I want to pay for it.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Office for Mac 2011 will not run on a new MacBook that is running macOS Catalina.


You can either subscribe to Microsoft 365 or you can make a one-time purchase. See: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir


Or use the free Microsoft Office on the web: https://products.office.com/en-us/free-office-online-for-the-web


Or Google Docs: https://www.google.com/docs/about/


Other options include using the free and very good Libre Office https://www.libreoffice.org/
