Open Office is what I run on my reloading laptop.

Just a quick tip for anyone installing Windows 11.
Set the location and currency to English WORLD.
Then change it back after the install.
This will prevent a crap ton of bloatware from being installed because those are all region specific.

My main issue with Win 11 is the minimal right click menu in Windows Explorer.
I found a registry tweak that restores it to the Win 10 format.
I've got it at home if anyone wants it.

QuoteRight-click the Start button and choose Windows Terminal.

Copy the command from below, paste it into Windows Terminal Window, and press enter.

reg.exe add

 "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve


Restart File Explorer or your computer for the changes to take effect.

You would see the Legacy Right Click Context menu by default.

I have given up on MS Explorer
I've been using Directory Opus for about 4 years now.
It's not free but worth every penny.  (about $60 US)
It is particularly useful if you need to keep folders and home and work synchronized via VPN.
There is no maintenance, you upgrade with each new release if you want to.... like Mastercam
did back in V5 thru V9 days

Explorer in 11 is horrendous. "search" is near total dog shit.
