a friend has moved OS and given us an old 15 inch MacBook Pro, Mid 2012 running Catalina Version 10.15.7. It is basically in mint condition. Doing what I thought was the right thing by our friend, I did a complete factory reset, wiping all old files etc. unfortunately it also wiped numbers and pages. Is there anyway of downloading (even buying) a version of numbers for this laptop?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
That's a VERY old computer, in computer terms.
You can try looking for Numbers on the Mac App Store, and see if the store offers you a compatible version for your OS.
That old a machine seems unlikely to be able to support a more recent macOS needed for recent versions of Numbers, which has changed a lot in the last decade.
To have a decent experience with Numbers (and many other apps) I think you are going to want to consider a more recent machine.

You may find you have better luck with Excel or a clone like LibreOffice.

Thanks SG, yes I realise the machine is basically a door stop but its in such good nic and with such a nice big screen my daughter loves it, she just needed it for excel / numbers so I thought I'd reach out. Thanks again.
macOS Catalina. Download numbers?
