Another vote for Linux Mint. Many Linux distros are available on bootable USBs, so you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows installation at all.

The other nice thing about Linux is that there are several Live versions you can try out on your computer without making any changes to your Windows installation.

This also lets you see if check and see if Linux fully supports your hardware (just in case you have a weird network or audio card). If the Live version of Linux works, the installed version will, as well.

Most installers let you set up a dual boot on the same hard drive, too.

LibreOffice has LibreCalc. It’s free and there’s a Windows version you can try.

You don’t need to buy a new computer. You just need to upgrade your old computer.

To Linux.

Thanks, Microsoft, you spineless simps. Another reason I’m glad I switched to Linux.

Microsoft should be getting worried about Linux.
