I don't think you are going to be able to download Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Microsoft has a policy of only supporting the most recent three versions of macOS. Those are (Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma).


For all of the 2012 MacBook Pros, Catalina is the end of the line. That is not good enough to run applications from Microsoft, Adobe, or others who support only the "most recent three."


There are some applications that you can get that will run on Catalina, including

  • The Firefox web browser.
  • The LibreOffice office suite.
  • The commercial Affinity V2 applications (Photo V2, Designer V2, Publisher V2)
  • An older, but still supported, version of the Carbon Copy Cloner backup utility (CCC 6)


If these and others won't do – if you need to run applications that require something later than Catalina, you'll need to buy a newer Mac. In that case, I would suggest a Mac that will be compatible with macOS Sequoia, when Apple releases Sequoia later this year. You can find a list of compatible Macs near the end of
