I have an old 2010 macbook pro i am using for uni studies. Have been using office 2011 and high sierra. Will my uni still read word and powerpoint files i create in office 2011 for assignments or dp i have to download office 365. Will office 365 run on my old mac. My mac has an ssd and runs great.
Got a tip for us?

I don't know about Powerpoint, but in the last few days I've had to open up Word files from early (and very early!) versions. I'm talking about documents from 8-10 years ago.
All of them opened properly, so I think that handing in assignments you created with Office 2011 will be just fine.
Speaking as an ex-professor, though, I suggest contacting a professor or a department secretary or a teaching assistant and asking if you can email them a simple Word 2011 document for testing.

Microsoft allows students to use Office 365 for free at qualifying universities. Most universities sign up to the program. My Daughter is currently at Exeter in the UK and she has access to free Office 365 account that you need to get via your university email address. Your Mac should be ok running Office 365.
