I read the info you have here; but I still have some questions.
When I bought my windows 7 computer it had a trail version of office 2010. The trail version ran out & I can't do ANYTHING with my documents that I had. (no editing; no copy & paste nothin. just like if it is frozen). Do I have to buy this?? This is crazy if a person as no choice; either you can't use it at all & lost everything or pay a couple of hundred to resume useing it. I'm on a very low income --- I can't afford it at all! Is there anything I can do--- any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

When I bought a computer back in 2000; there was nothing else to buy. Everything you needed was there; except of course the internet.

Thanks. Jaycojade
