The OP said ”or pay for Windows”. I took it that the OP doesn't use Windows
now.

IK made a mistake in my earlier posting (it is the middle of the night here!).  My recommendation of deleting the OO User Profile was made to another case I am dealing with.  

In this case ("requires elevation") the solution lies in adjusting the user's rights applied by Windows 7 or 8. As I don't use such recent versions of Windows I can give no guidance based on my own knowledge, hence my recommendation to seek for help on a Windows Forum.

I took it that the phrase "or pay for Windows" meant "purchase MS Office for Windows". 

In a subsequent private email I have recommended deleting or renaming the OpenOffice User Profile as outlined in 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426

I took that the OP was going to upgrade their edition of Windows.

There is a version of Windows that is gratis, but it is extremely
limited in what it can do. The upgrade path is SAAS, with various price
points, and functionality/capabilities.
