> I need advice, I need to buy a new computer for work. Very hesitant to by Winblows10.But I feel I have no choice. Apple? I need MS Word, to make things easier. Does Apple have that, or can I get it? Or will it work? Thanks!

You can get MS Word for Apple Macs, using the Office365 version. The Mac App Store has a free read-only version that lets you open and read, but not create or edit, standard MS-Word documents. To get full functionality you need to open an Office365 account and pay Microsoft for it. In my experience it works very well.

My standard answer to "What kind of computer should I buy?" is:

"You, like all of us, are going to have issues with your computer.
They're unavoidable, and how you solve them is your choice.
If you want to solve issues with money, get a Mac.
If you want to solve issues with time, run Linux.
If you want an unpredictable hybrid of the two, try Windows."
If you follow the Windows, Mac, and Linux threads here on FR, you will see that although the above is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, there's a lot of truth to it. Good luck! :-)

We don’t have a “like” button here on FR so I’ll just have to post a smiley.
