Downloading Open Office and Verification
I have not yet downloaded Open Office because I’m not clear on what is needed. Is ‘Verification of Integrity’ required? Or can I just download Open Office? I can’t understand exactly what to do to verify.
Thanks :)

Yes you can use windows 10. I have been using it for a number of years
now and Apache OpenOffice® works fine. As others have mentioned the
verification step is not mandatory and 99+% of the time it will install
with no problems.

Be aware that a different version is needed for Windows. Select that from the URL you have been given. Normally in Windows the built-in file checking is adequate; when in Windows you double click the download it will (99.9% of time, depending on how good your Internet connection is) install or complain. If it complains you have a bad download and should try again.

Follow what Rory says. Verifying is usually a redundant set since most browsers check the CRC when the have finished downloading. The SHA MD5 whatever are if you are downloading from a site you do not trust and think the official site had been altered.

Thanks for the help! I was on a Mac but I will be putting Open Office on our PC with Windows 10. The instructions on 'Verification' seems complicated.
