Don't be taken by surprise. Free support from MS for Win10 will end in Oct. You have options. Stay with Win10 (be unsecure unless you pay). Buy new and upgrade to Win11 - and donate your old laptop to REcompute. Or convert to Linux. Please give this some serious thought.

Microsoft Word to begin saving people's documents in the cloud *by default*
Reminder that LibreOffice is free and a good drop-in replacement for Microsoft Office software: www.libreoffice.org
