Answer

What software works 

on a Chromebook?

Chromebooks use apps from the Google Play 

Store and on the web. There are apps to be 

productive, get creative, enjoy movies and 

shows, play games and more. 

How do I get more 

apps?

You can get more apps from the Google Play 
Store 

 or the web.

Can I use Microsoft 

Office software?

Chromebooks work with Microsoft

®

 Office. 

Whether it’s Word, Excel

®

 or PowerPoint

®

, you 

can easily find the apps on the web.

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).

You can also upload your files, photos, and 

videos to Google Drive. After setting up your 

Chromebook with your Google Account, you’ll 

be able to access your files on Drive.

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 

Drive. Your Chromebook uses your account 

information to automatically sign you into apps 

and services.
