@EakertU412831 What kind of app do you want? When buying programs/applications you need to check and see if they are compatible with Windows 10 and what the system requirements are.

I have Office 365 Home and other programs/applications that I need for the things I do on my computer such as Quicken, Logo Design, Play Memories, Zinio among others.

I have office 2007 (Windows 10 64 bit),my computer will be used for writing,occasionally play games on it,up to now, i've only downloaded one game and one PC cleaner,Windows explorer is recommended by my friend.
Is there any good app to help me manage my computer files,or something else I don't know.

@EakertU412831 Unless you just want to spend money on other programs/applications you probably have everything you need to manage your computer and Windows 10 already on it. Have you clicked on Start and looked at what you have. See example image below. Under W you will also see Windows Security and Windows System.

First thing office 2007 has reached end of life in support, I think.

You can do either Libre Office or Office Online for free. If Office365 doesn’t thrill you.

Notepad++

Sumatra pdf

Compared to other Windows versions Windows actually works, updates are a crap shoot they either work or don’t .Back up onto external hdd, and download a memory stick with Win10 os if it ever stops working.

Your choice complete restore or reinstall on a memory stick.

I made SAR Image Processor which is free:

And, unlike Photoshop, it will allow you to counterfeit money. Ha, Ha.

Windows Media Center is better than VLC. See my post about how to install it on Windows 10.

Adobe what? You don't need Adobe PDF reader because Microsoft Edge, which comes with Windows 10, reads PDF.

Indeed Office 365 is not exciting.

This is no AARP app. It's Adobe and Win10 password reset. LOL

I've used LibreOffice as a productivity suite for a few years, mostly for word processing and spreadsheet. It is free, feature-rich, and receives regular updates.

I am using a Dell CD with Office on it. Word, Excel, Powerpoint and possibly more but am using these three and am happy.
