All of the Windows programs, together with Libre Office, Open Office etc should read and write both .doc & .docx documents. They should all also read & write the Open Document Format used by Libre Office and Open Office.

Libre Office is a supported version of the original Open Office.
(Same team who wrote the program)
No problems over the last two years using Libre, reads/writes both doc/docx documents.

AC you won't have to update all your documents from .doc to .docx.
when you go to save, click on the downward sign at side of Type of File and you'll find .doc there.
I kept all my old .doc files as just that.  Sometimes the system tells me it might not save all the 'modifications' (or similar wording) but I've ignored that and told it to go ahead and havent' found anything missing in the year or so I've been battling with Win10.
Hate the system!

Thanks for that Dawn.

I still have to check another retailer for a machine, but will organise myself soon, hopefully :P
