I have upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 365. What can I do to open an Excel 2010 file from File Manager to open in Excel 365, it keeps trying to open in Excel 2010 which I don't have anymore? Please help,thanks

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! You can right-click the old excel file, and under Properties change the ‘Opens With’ option to Excel. If that doesn't work try open the file in Excel 365 online, and then select Open in Desktop App at the top of your workbook otherwise you can convert the file to the current file format by going to File -> Info -> Convert.

1. Right click, there is no 'Open With Option'
2. I can open the 2010 files from within Excel 365, but I need to open files from e.g file manager, then it does not open with Excel 365, it will try to open with Excel 2010, which is very frustrating. Also files send from other people in the Excel 2010, must first be saved. Then Excel 365 must be opened, then the the file must be opened, can't just open it.
I have tried to change the Associations in Control Panel, but the Excel 365 Icon is not available to select, What else can I try?
