Windows 10: How do I open and use older excel files after installing win10 on my PC.

Hello. I just installed the downloaded version of win 10 onto my previous win7 pro pc. During the download process I opted to retain all my original files and folders. However I tried to open one of my old spreadsheets and it disappeared quickly off my screen. Tried it a few times and this continued to happen. I click on the workbook icon it looks like its loading then it appears briefly then goes. I hope someone can help me.

CSV files used to open in Excel....not now!

Hi, you say Excel is installed. Does it run normally?

You can't find Excel in (an unspecified) list of applications. I don't know which list that is for sure.

For example, in the list related to:
- rt click a file. Open With
- this list:



- this list:




- some other list...

If Excel does not appear in the above, I suggest you repair your office installation.

Maybe the above gives you some ideas. Otherwise please post a screenshot of where you think you should see it but don't. Thanks.
