Or you can open the  icon top left of the screen, then About This Mac, click on System Report and then click on the "Applications" item under Software and wait for the system to fill in the report (It may take some time. Eventually it will populate and one of the columns may show whether it's 32 or 64 bit, or you can click on each and see the "Kind:' information. Don't worry about the stuff from Apple, it will get replaced with the installation. It's the non-Apple stuff that you need to be sensitive to.In the same report, if you click on Storage in the left column, it should show the nature of your internal drive (and all the connected drives). "Flash" normally means it's an SSD, which will work very nicely under Mojave or Catalina. I understand your husband's preference. But do the math a bit before you purchase. For essentially $10/month you get 6 copies of the full Office suite, plus access to as much as 6TB of online storage. And the updates come automatically to you about monthly, to all installations, so you never have to worry if you are out of date. If it makes better financial sense to purchase, that's ok, too. If I only needed one license, it would be a closer call at $7/month for one subscription as opposed to the $149 price of one license to buy. The break-even point is about 24 months. For me, I needed 4 licenses, so it was closer to $600 to buy, but I can subscribe for $10, so the break even is 60 months, or five years.</blockquote>
