If you want to use Word to open/read any .doc or .docx file, then you can just set those file types to use Word.

On win10, right-click on the mouse on the windows icon in the tray. Select Programs & Features & click (probably the 1st on the list); this give you a list to change/delete so just do a "back up" by selecting the "Program" in the title menu/drop-down thingy. This will get you a couple of selections.

Select the "make a file type always open on a specific program" within the "Default Programs" section. Then hunt for you .doc & .docx... hmmm mine says the default is the free Microsoft Word Viewer....

How did you try to open your doc files? I just double-clicked on a .doc file & the word viewer opened the file for viewing.....

Not sure I'm doing any good here.
