Office 365 Questions
I purchased Microsoft Office 365 when I got a new computer after my laptop died. Why can't I open the Microsoft WORD documents that I had saved to flash drives?

I uninstalled Office 365 today, and got my money back at Costco.
I purchased Microsoft Office 2019, but when I tried to install it, Microsoft said that I had two unused copies of Student and Teacher 2016 on our account!
So I installed one of them on my new computer, and it's working great! Now I can return the 2019 version.
AWESOME!
I am shocked that MS just shot themselves in the foot by telling you there were extra unused licenses you had..
Personally, you are not missing anything, newer versions just add in a lot of unneeded bloatware gadgets and 365 is marketed to those folks who try to impress others by having the newest shiny gadgetry that they don't need and don't have a clue how to use or why they have have it.. BUT, they have it none the less.
365 has a lot of features that are useful for group work, and the advantage of having cloud storage that you can open from anywhere. The latter is a big deal for people who work from more than one device. The autosave is also a big deal for those who work on very large documents or elaborate Excel files.
I've had it for years to make my work stuff simple, but not sure I'm going to keep it in retirement.
