Download not successful - request your assistance. Also, do I
select "Yes" or "No" for making changes to my laptop? Is there a way that
you can download and run/setup for me.

You should download and install OpenOffice on the new computer.
The only site from which OpenOffice should be downloaded is
http://www.openoffice.org/download
This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will start in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT click on anything else).
One can verify (and should verify) that the downloaded file is as it left the code factory by the methods described in
Apache OpenOffice - How to verify the integrity of the downloaded file?
As OO is opensource, many sites manipulate search engines so that they come high on the hit list, and compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it with spurious offers of support.
We recommend downloading only from the above site and carrying out the integrity check before installing.
If installing a download from the above site Windows prompts for allowing changes, you should answer "yes".
OpemOffice is a volunteer driven project where we give of our time on a pro bono basis; there are no provisions for remote intervention from this project on your computer whether for downloading or installation.
If you are in doubt about any of the download/installation steps, you should seek local informed help - often a computer informed student will be pleased to assist.
