Windows 10: Can't open Windows 7 Works documents and excel spreadsheets in Windows 10

How do I open my documents word and excel from Windows 7 Works in my new computer with Windows 10?

Working with Excel spreadsheets in OneNote Windows 10

Windows 8 and OneNote 2016 have some good features when working with Excel Spreadsheets. e.g. In OneNote 2016 there is a Microsoft Excel button that allows new or existing Excel spreadsheets to be opened and edited. Once opened there is an edit button in
upper left corner of the spreadsheet. When clicked. Excel opens and one can add data and edit the spreadsheet. Then when you quit Excel the new changes to the spreadsheet appear in the OneNote version of the spreadsheet. Very neat!

I don't find any way to edit spreadsheets in OneNote for Windows 10. In fact I find no good way to work well with Excel and OneNote. I find I can open a Excel spread sheet in OneNote.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help

Excel spreadsheets in Windows 10

My Excel spreadsheets in Windows 10 (downloaded today) will no longer save changes without insisting I rename it as a new file. The pop-up window says the document is "Read Only," but it is not and never was on Windows 7. When I open the Properties window
on these Excel documents, the "Read Only" box is not checked. I am also now being denied permission to save it to its same folder and am forced to place it elsewhere. Help!
