Windows 10: how do I set my files to open in office online by default?

I only use word and PowerPoint for school purposes and not very often, so I'm fine with the online version, how do I set my documents open office online by default?

I cannot open any of my Office files; Word, Excel, Powerpoint

Maybe the steps here will let you open your old office files?

 

Setting office 2016 as a default

This references Office 2013, but also applies to Office 2016:

Can't set earlier version of Office as Default Program

Applies To: Excel 2013 Word 2013 PowerPoint 2013 Publisher 2013 Access 2013

When you have two versions of an Office program on the same PC, such as Word 2013 and Word 2010, you won’t be able to set the older program as the default in Default Programs in Control Panel. Only the newer version of Office will show in the list of programs.

Because you can’t set the default Office program, you won’t be able to choose which version of Office you’d like to use when you open a file.

To get around this problem, start the Office program you’d like to use first, and then open the file (File > Open) in the program. For example, if you’d like to open an older Word document with Word 2010, you’d need to start Word 2010 and then open the document
in Word.

So, unfortunatel, there is no way around this.
