There are boat loads of “Open Source” programs out there.

I have used “OpenOffice” in the past.

It can get a little sluggish at times, but I needed something that I could run from my USB drive.

It works.

And it’s free.

If it has to be Microsoft, Amazon has it for $85. No cloud involved.
That said, Libre is pretty good though not perfect.

If you have a licensed copy, you should be able to install it on the new machine.

But I’d just go with libre or open office.

Do you have any documentation that you purchased Word or MS Office with the old laptop?

If so you can use that key to reinstall a version of your old software.

Try OpenOffice. It reads some Word formats.
