Well, this is bloody interesting. I was going through the computer that I recently bought second-hand, and it has no Microsoft Word products on it. :/ Puzzling…I thought the suite was installed on all machines, or at least a trial version of it. :/ Gonna have to dig into this deeper…in the meantime, you all dig into Sasha Fae. 🙂

Tony, that’s because MSFT wants you to use Office 365 subscription service!
You might be able to find a copy with a free year or one-time lifetime subscription on eBay…?
I figured it was something like that…OY. I’ll get Open Office for free before I do that…sheesh.
Tony, don’t you have an old copy of MS 0ffice 2003, 2007 or 2010 Home and Student (or Home and Family) lying around? Use that instead.
I couldn’t bring WORD over from the dead comp…but I have the extra computer. I’ll see if I can get it from that. Maybe FileHippo has it uploaded there. 🙂
Hey Tony,
You could always try Libre Office or WPS… They’re FREE!
(I do loves muh free software)
😉
Nolan, thank you for writing! 🙂
I wound up going with another free software, OpenOffice. I remember having it before and found it to be a GREAT alternative to paying Micro$oft’$ ransom for Word. My search turned up fruitless…even old versions of Word are locked behind a paywall…which is their right, I guess. But it’s my right to find something I consider essential for free as well. 🙂
OpenOffice is great! I used to use that back in the day until the devs stopped updating it. LibreOffice is just a fork of OpenOffice.
No need to pay for antivirus either. Panda Security works just fine.
When you have a spare desktop or laptop handy, you should play around with Linux. It’s no good for gaming, but for surfing and as a “work machine” it’s an excellent (free) alternative to Windows.
Anyways, I hope you can start gaming again soon. I hear Resident Evil 7 is “shit your pants” scary!
Resident Evil has been like the Star Trek movies…when they’re good, they’re REALLY good…Resident Evil 4 for good and Resident Evil 6 for bad, for example. And don’t try to talk to me about how “wonderful” 5 was…I typically play alone, and Sheva’s AI was dumber than an average barrel cactus and killed my progress so many times, I just gave up in frustration. 🙁
As for Resi 7, I’ve been watching footage online (YouTube) and it DOES seem really good…as long as you can excuse the painfully obvious homage to “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” when the main character is forced to sit at the dinner table while the “Family” tries to feed him…that was massive cringe for me. 🙁 Aside from that, it looks spectacular, and I can’t wait to put together enough to get a regular rig so I can knock this one down to vid processing and gaming. 🙂
