i am just checking out windows 10 and have uploaded my files to one drive from the old pc.
may i ask if there is anything wrong with the basic free office and outlook ?
will they just open up on the desktop or will i have to keep signing in to microsoft office to access them ?( i keep getting service unavailable when i tap on any of the homescreen boxes for office, outlook, word, excel etc), do i have to download them ? thank you.

editing to add that i don't use the calender on the pc, or budgeting tools or the such. just to be able to write letters for printing off or emailing,

That's because you don't read what I send to you. I gave you the name of a member via Private Message, for you to request a key if available.
This was days ago.

There is *no* free version of MS Office (Word, Outlook, Excel etc)
Maybe you have a free trial version?

Perhaps he means the free MS Office starter edition? (Word, Excel)

Which won't work with W10 (unless someone has found a workaround that actually works). I used to use it with W7, not much different to the full versions of Word and Excel and with the Powerpoint viewer and ad removing fix it was all I needed.

Why?

You'll always be able to open and read documents for free, but can only create and edit them for free on a device with a screen smaller than 10.1 inches. That means you can edit Word documents from a smartphone or small tablet, but if you're on a larger tablet, laptop, or desktop PC you can only view them.

Stop this now. Dragging this out unnecessarily.
