2) How secure is the software?
3) Is it open source or proprietary software?
4) Can you open Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents?

Up until now, I have purchased a version of MS Office and used it until it wasn’t supported and then purchased a newer version. As I look on line, I see that there are several sources for similar products but I am not sure of the quality of these products. I regularly use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Thanks for any help you offer. (Well, maybe not the snide comments but any help is appreciated.)
Why not continue to use your existing MS office. Just because it is not supported does not mean it will not work. I am still using my 2007 version of MS Office, and they quit supporting that in 2017. It still works but is not updated with improvements.
