USB drive created with Office

[Guest KarenRu_988]

I have a USB with all of my files that I created on a work computer. The files were created on this USB with Office. I am now retired and do not have access to that laptop or to Office. I presently have a personal Dell laptop with Windows 8.

 

 

When the USB files are "plugged" into this Dell laptop, I get the message, "You are trying to use Office but don't have Office." I called for help and was told I had to download a "third party for word processing application" or pay $59.99 per year to Office. I tried downloading a third party application through Chrome but I still can not access my USB files. I do not want to pay Office for my own USB files that I wrote and for, what now appears to be, kidnapping with ransom demands from Office.

 

 

What do I need to do? Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Karen
