So, thanks to the June windows updates, my computer lost it. Long story short, I was able to use OpenOffice before my comp got wiped and now that I have a clean install of Windows 10 (sans AOO), it won't let me install it. Says that it isn't compatible with my computer.
On the microsoft boards (Windows 10), someone said that he believed that added on "apps" were messing with the Windows 10 updates. Anyone else have this problem or know how I can get AOO on my Windows 10, 64 bit laptop? Windows 10 has got to be the worst ever. Bring back 7!

Villeroy,
I already downloaded openoffice.org/download 4.1.5, however, didn't take long for "something" to pop up and state that it wasn't compatible. Not sure what libreoffice is.

LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, that is, another open source office suite.
Exactly what is the error message you are getting?

Re: Apache OpenOffice not compatible with "your computer"
Thank you all. My ignorance finally lifted. I got one of those light bulb moments... went to windows settings and allowed downloads. Silly me. It was set for allow apps from store only. DUHHHHH. I forgot how much like a smart phone these stupid laptops are.

So, should your question have been "Can't download OpenOffice" rather than can't install? Please make sure that you provide accurate information, especially in relation to error messages.
