What I'm leaning towards to do with the new laptop, is go with MS (so far), and I order some additional hardware to make it easier on myself typing, like a mechanical keyboard, also I won't wear out the keyboard, like I did on my last laptop. A lot of the software, I have already tried, I didn't like. For example, Plotting, there was one were sticky notes would of been more effect, for a minor outline on the chapter. But MS, or something similar is going to be at the root of my writing.

I was a huge fan of Ami Pro. It was such a relief to be able to leave WordPerfect that I still remember my joy. (I think I used it both on Windows and on OS/2.) I never got along with WP - to which I came from WordStar.

AmiPro still works with Windoze, not sure after XP, but no long filename support, Microsoft tend to buyup rival software then either cripple it or bin it.

I've used MS Office (expensive but one of the best there is) and Google Docs (free, just online only). They are my go to, office is worth the investment in the long term. I've written 80,000 word manuscripts there & it has not failed me
Websites/apps like Wattpad, Quotev & Movellas are good for drafting, you can use it a bit like google docs, no need to publish it there. It's good because you can add chapters and create books, then transfer it over to what you want. (Wattpad is my fav of the three). You can write directly in to Literotica too if all you want is a place to save drafts... good communities too if you want more places to be publishing work but be careful with wattpad, q, and movellas, tag everything appropriately!!! I cannot stress this enough. Scrivener, Evernote (good for transferring between devices & free), Pages (ioS only), Zen Writer are good programs. Grammarly isn't the best for me... It's good, but I've had too much stuffing around with it. There's free alternatives like Hemingway Writer and Slick Write, etc.
