I have many spreadsheets with complicated formulas that work great.

My Chromebook is an Acer CB5-571 and is about 5 years old. Even after it stops getting updates, it will still be far safer than Windows. After all, it can't get a virus, if it breaks all you do is buy a new one and sign in, everything you had on the old one comes to the new.

Now there are reason to use Windows, such as Quicken, and other programs that force you to download the program to the PC. But for those products I use Linux Mint and find programs that work just as well.
