Anti virus software is a con. No need for any, especially if you're not constantly looking at porn.

It'll slow down because Microsoft wants it to slow down. It's over two years old and at times it's like a sloth.
Looking at the spec it's a Celeron processor 2.16 GHz and there's 4gb of ram.

Anyway I'll try downloading the open office.

Lol.

My phone's 2.3ghz with 8gb of ram and it fits in my pocket.

Microsoft want nothing of the sort. Sales in this day and age count for very little to tech companies. Your data is the commodity now.

No need if you’re reasonably astute, but lots of people aren’t.

I've got an old laptop sitting which has a new hard drive due to being dropped. It was said that it would be like a new computer.... It's crap and the kids can't be bothered waiting for it to start up. My Surface RT slowed down and nobody in the house can be bothered with it. My current laptop which was bought for work and is also used for online gaming just gives up at times (probably needs 8gb ram for gaming and better processor). Completing the hmrc (leaving it late) and whilst trying to open another file it's almost as if it says feck you, same thing when I run out of Windows cleaned today slips and trying to print at the last minute it says feck you!  At times it's fine but maybe my idea of slow is normal for someone else.

No offence Alan but if you're using a laptop with 2.16 ghz and 4gb of ram for gaming then I would imagine it's well underpowered.
If you're into that stuff then buy an xbox one, they are only a couple of hundred quid and fantastic value for money.

I've got a 360 and the kids have a One S in the play room but I can get away with playing World of tanks, football manager etc on the laptop and pass it off as working.

I use open office

Is this the download and is it safe http://ccm.net/download/download-56-openoffice

Probably

But just go to the official site

https://www.openoffice.org

Thank you, that makes a difference being able to open files straight from the desktop and not having to go onto Onedrive.

It's five years old, discussing five year old PCs. So 10 year old pcs. To put that in perspective, that's when the iPhone 1 was released ( just called the iPhone  then) it's pre iPad and all android phones. 

Most of it is about Windows Vista.

Windows 10 is way more stable than Vista.
