Answer

What software works 
on a Chromebook?

Chromebooks use apps from the Google Play 
Store and on the web, instead of traditional 
software applications. There are apps to be 
productive, get creative, enjoy movies and 
shows, play games and more. 

How do I get more 
apps?

Download Chromebook apps from the Google 
Play Store app 

. Find the app by clicking the 

Launcher icon  

 and searching “Play Store”.

Can I use Microsoft 
Office software?

Chromebooks work with Microsoft

®

 Word, 

Excel

®

 and PowerPoint

®

. You can download 

the apps from the Google Play Store or use 
them on the web.

*Additional functionality available with a 
Microsoft 365 subscription. Microsoft, Excel 
and PowerPoint are registered trademarks of 
Microsoft Corporation.

Where can I find my 
files?

All your files are stored in the Files app 

Find the app by clicking the Launcher icon 

  

and searching “Files”.

How do I transfer my 
local files?

Transfer your local files using a compatible 
storage device. Your Chromebook works with 
most external storage devices (e.g.: USB 
thumb drives, removable hard drives).

Why does my 
Chromebook need 
my Google Account 
information?

You’ll use your Google Account to sign in to 
your Chromebook. It is the same account you 
use for Google services such as Gmail and
