    Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service provided by Microsoft, and it does not include Microsoft Office applications (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) by default. However, depending on the device and its operating system, there might be some pre-installed or trial versions of Microsoft Office applications.

    Here is a breakdown for laptops and tablets:

    1. Laptops:
      • New laptops may come with a trial version of Microsoft Office, typically offering a limited-time access to the full suite of Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
      • Some laptops may include a pre-installed version of Microsoft Office as part of a bundle deal or as a promotional offer. This version might be a limited edition or may require a subscription after the trial period ends.
      • If your laptop doesn't include Microsoft Office, you can either purchase a standalone license for Microsoft Office or subscribe to Microsoft 365, which provides access to Office applications along with additional benefits such as OneDrive storage and Skype minutes.
    2. Tablets:
      • Tablets running Windows may come with a trial or pre-installed version of Microsoft Office, similar to laptops.
      • Tablets running other operating systems like iOS (iPad) or Android might not include Microsoft Office by default. However, you can download Microsoft Office apps from the respective app stores (e.g., the App Store for iPad or Google Play Store for Android tablets).
      • Microsoft Office apps for tablets typically offer basic functionality for free, but advanced features may require a Microsoft 365 subscription.

    In summary, while some laptops and tablets may come with a trial or pre-installed version of Microsoft Office, it's not guaranteed, and you may need to purchase or subscribe to Microsoft Office separately if you require full access to its features.
