Do I still need Microsoft Office apps installed on my laptop when now using Google Docs, etc. instead? Not renewing it; In other words, to be able to open word, excel, PPT files I've saved previously? Using MacBook Air on Sonoma 14.8.4. Am NOT technical. Can you tell? Thanks.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.8
No. Microsoft does offer an online, free version of Office (with Microsoft account pre-requisite) in case you receive any documents from someone using advanced Office document features that may not be available in Google Docs. Or for free, a current copy of LibreOffice installed (with the correct architecture for your Mac).

You can use either Google Docs or Pages, Numbers, and Keynote if you have them installed, but may lose some document formatting or functionality.

Using Google Docs, still need Office installed to open, read, or print old Word/Excel/PPT on MacBook Air?
