Unable to edit Word documents in Windos 10

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint are Office applications. There are different Office versions. You may follow the steps below to check which version of Office you are using.

• 
  Go to File Then select Account.
  
• 
  Click on About Word (Which have symbol of question mark).
  

I also suggest you to check multiple versions of Microsoft Office is installed or not in your system. You may follow the steps below:

• 
  Go to Control panel.
  
• 
  Click on programs and features.
  

Please do let us know the version of Office that you are using for further assistance.

Hi Kirsten,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

1. Was it an upgrade or update?

2. When you say Word, is it Microsoft word or word pad?

3. Which version of Microsoft Word are you using?

4. Which was the previous Operating system installed on the computer?

If you had performed an upgrade, I suggest you to check Windows .Old folder for the missing documents.

Windows. Old folder will be located in This PC > access the drive where Operating System has been installed, there you would be able to locate Windows. Old folder.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
