Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office

To be honest, I don't think it is a good idea to still use Windows 7 which not supported any more 
and has *lots* of security issues.

If it is impossible to install the supported Windows version (11) on the box (which is probably the 
case due to its extremely high requirements), I recommend replacing the OS by (e.g.) Linux Mint 
<https://linuxmint.com/> which
* will for sure run on the old machine,
* is completely free and
* comes with the current LibreOffice release, of course including the Dutch localisation.

If you require applications which are available for Windows exclusively: you /may/ be able to run 
them on Linux using the “Wine” emulator (<https://www.winehq.org/>, also included in Mint).  YMMV, 
though.

Just my € 0.01…

Best,
Albrecht.
