I think you are missing the point, that if you plan to buy Word, then in general you need windows.
OK, I'm genuinely surprised. I just know of one local school where mobiles are banned and even confiscated.
Some years ago I know of a school that requested phones weren't brought in, and with caveat if one was lost or stolen at school, there would be no investigation by staff.
It sounds a sensible policy, but I would be concerned over the ruggedness laptop when taken into school seeing how things can be treated. I might expect tears at some point!

They started years ago but it hasn't made any difference. The thing that has made a difference is the auto updaters that people install, like google, apple, adobe, and everyone else.

Its the main user advantage of having an APP store, all the updates come via one route.
He was talking about elderly relatives, not kids.

Which doesnt include word. I ask again was that Wine or VBox?
Or are you actually running libre office and think its word?
No, of word.
Wine.
