New Mac Laptop - Cannot Update Apps

I just bought a new Mac laptop and created a new Apple ID. This morning, there are updates available for GarageBand, Keynote, Numbers and Pages but when I click "update", it tells me that these apps were installed with a different Apple ID.


How can I update these apps...?



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

The workaround is to delete the apps and redownload them logged in with your Apple ID.
