Not really: 'will' does not mean 'need to'. Regarding after vs in, the second is the native choice.

I messed up the first example.

I wanted to put the sentence in the following form:

After three hours, I will need to move to another building.

Is the above the same thing as "In three hours, I need to move to another building"?

Thanks!

Yes, but the 2nd is the native choice.

Just curious,

Do I need "will" in that sentence?

If not, is there a difference between having "will" and not having "will"?

I have already said that they are synonymous.
