Works and MS Edge

To my astonishment, W10 works quite well on a pall's old Dell Celeron with only 2 gigs. However, his Works 8.5 disk threatens to modify Internet Explorer. Hmm, after hours of updating and licence-getting, I'm really afraid to undo all this (unpaid) work.

Keeping this laptop is a lot to do with us oldies seeing the screen. 1440 is an almost perfect compromise and having taken him to PC World, there wasn't one that he could see without a microscope.

He's fairly sure he's got a printer - somewhere, so it would be nice to write a letter occasionally. Works would be fine.

People say it will run on 10, but don't cover the issue of it messing up Edge.

The Dell CD has a Microsoft label but only a Tracking ID with 14 numbers after it. I guess that might only work with the original Vista.

Any thoughts?

Money is not the main issue. Keeping things simple is. Going to any program that required altering file formats for example, is a non starter.
