[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1817234, member: 83420"] Hi Steve. A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. I had to look up what a Transcend JetDrive 128gb was and find that it is a Storage Expansion Card. Having understood that, the problems are: 1. What have you actually put on the Card? Word docs, PowerPoint files? They can all be read by macOS, but if you need to retain the Microsoft Format and alter the data, then you do need Microsoft Office. Have you loaded Microsoft Office programme onto the Card? and if so, then: 2. You would appear not to have license privileges to run Office on the Card 3. So, as I see it, you would need to get the 365 Office put on your MB Air in order to access/read/write/alter the data on the Expansion Card. The 365 subscription does offer cross-platform capabilities so that can work on Windows PCs and Mac Devices seamlessly. That's my take on the problem. Others may have other ideas. Ian [/QUOTE]
