Hi, I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and a desktop with Win 7 Pro 64.

What choices of word processors would work well on either system?

I had installed a really old copy of Corel Word Perfect Office 2000 :cry: but it flat out
will not work, only on Win XP.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Have a look at Microsoft Word 2013. Google Microsoft Word & follow it to a Microsoft Store near where you are, to see its features & cost. Also you can download a copy there presumably after paying for it of course.

The 32 bit version is all you need & it would work on both 32 & 64 bit computers. You may have to pay for 2 licenses, if you want to use it on 2 computers.

Try Libre Office before you buy MS Office.

You can set it to save files as if they are MS docs.

If you don't like it - then spend your money :-)

You are welcome.

There are a few things that Libre Office cannot do like MS Office (or so I'm told)... so it comes down to each user to decide if they ever see a feature that they miss.

It depends on what features you need. Both systems should have Wordpad which is fine to write letters and other simple documents.
