Windows 10: Trouble loading documents with Office 2010.

I have Microsoft Office 2010 on my PC, I recently removed Office 365 as it came pre-installed with my PC and is a trial version which was never activated. So I thought it may aswell be removed from my PC, as whenever I click a document it opens up in Office 365 by default. But now when I click a word document it says this app can't run on this PC, but if I open Word and click Open, and find the document it will open. Is there a simple way to rectify this?

Strange, no updates for Office 2010

If you just did a 1703 clean install, check All settings> Windows Update> Advanced options> Give me updates for other MS products ... This is unchecked by default, check the box to get Office updates

Or, have you tried updating thru Office itself ? Try this -
Open any Office 2010 application, such as Word 2010 and create a document.
Go to File > Help > Check for Updates.
Choose Install Updates or Check for Updates. If neither option is available, follow the additional steps provided in the pop-up window that appeared after you chose Check for Updates.
