Windows 10: Adobe

I'm paying for Adobe, its pdf function being essential for book writing activities sending the manuscript to the publisher and the Word pdf not being considered sufficient. I don't plan to write more books and, though paying for Adobe, haven't re-installed it on my laptop after needing to reinstall Windows 10 from the cloud which removed the Adobe program. The Adobe Cloud Services, which I never used, had to be repeatedly reinstalled for whatever reason and I wonder how much Adobe itself slows down the computer. I'm not using it and wonder about reinstalling it. Any thoughts? Thanks to all.
