Hello George,

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 runs on all Windows versions of Windows since Windows XP.

When you go to http://www.openoffice.org/download you should see Windows (EXE) already seleted, along with your language and 4.1.2.

Click "Download full installation" only. When the next page opens, just wait. There is nothing more to click. Ignore any ads that say Download or "Download Now."

You should eventually see a message asking you what you want to do with
"Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86_install ... ."
Respond to that.

Apache OpenOffice does *not* run on Windows RT, the version of Windows that is used on some Microsoft Surface tablets. It also does not run on Windows Phone.

You can find out what version of Windows you are running by running Control Panel.

You can also tell by looking at the "Start" button in the lower left corner of your screen. If it is green and says "Start" it is Windows XP. If it is round and shows the 4-color Windows symbol, it is Windows Vista or Windows 7 (smaller on Windows 7). Windows 8 and 8.1 normally open with a "Start" page and you can go to the desktop from there. The desktops on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 are similar.

Your keyboard should also have a "Windows" key, usually between the left "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys. If you press the Windows key, the display on Windows 8 - 10 will toggle between the start (page) menu and the desktop (or a running application and the start page).

If none of this is familiar, you might not have a Windows PC (or it is older than Windows XP).
