Is there any other Office type programs I can download for my Windows 8 laptop? Tried OpenOffice, won't download and says nothing about being compatible for W8.

Use MS Office Online, it's free at Outlook.com with a Microsoft ID.

My laptop had OpenOffice on Windows 8. I upgraded to Windows 10 and the OpenOffice is still working...

OpenOffice will work fine on Win8 as will LibreOffice.

Depending on your needs you could just use MS Office Online or Google Drive.

I prefer Libre Office or Open Office.  I had some docx translation/ formatting issues in the past with Open Office, which is why I switched over to Libre Office.  I think the problem has been fixed since then, however I haven't gone back to try it.

LibreOffice works better than OpenOffice in my experience.
