Thank you.

I have no earthly idea where my word files are....I no longer have a start button that works.  I no longer have a shortcut menu located on the popup screen that should initiate when the start button is activated.  This seems to be a lot of ****....where they want me to purchase Microsoft Word for this new stuff.  Totally frustrating.  I can't even open a file that shows my files.

I hope you can provide me some SIMPLIFIED instructions as I am not computer literate or a genuis on the computer.

THIS should be the #1 answer!  Not that silly Microsoft techy junk and all the questions!

we want to TYPE - like we ALWAYS have - and have it simple.  The stupid tiles and the lack of the start button doing things it has always done...that's just DUMB.  Why change things that existed the same way for decades?

Anyway - this is all I needed.  I don't want to buy anything else, and I just want to type letters to clients, print them, and store them if I am making a letter I will use over and over.  See? simple is good you silly MS people!  THIS process is all I needed - thank  you stuartschofieldPH!

This windows 10 is driving me nuts

MS Word isn't part of Windows, it is a program that is part of MS Office. The only text editing programs that ever were and still are part of Windows are Notepad, which is quite simplistic and Wordpad which can do better quality documents.

Some computer manufacturers bundled a starter version of MS Office with their computers but that version of the program is apparently not compatible with Windows 10 so it doesn't get carried over during the upgrade.

MS Works is another productivity suite with word processing that was often bundled with computers but that also is a separate product. Some of the newer versions of Works can be re-installed into Windows 10 if you have the installation discs.

New versions of Office have to be bought. There are some freeware programs, such as OpenOffice, which have the same functions and can open many types of Word or Excel files.
