Is there something you need it for that notepad and word can't cover?

Shouldn't need the full blown Word to make a simple text document with different fonts and basic page layout options. WordPad is very lightweight, not like removing it saves any notable storage space.

It's not about storage space, it's about maintaining two programs that do the same thing. With modern computers built for Windows 11 and not minimal spec, ram should be plentiful and cheap to add if needed. Any computer with tpm2 it shouldn't matter with unless the build was bad to begin with.

No, it's all about the $$$

Always has been.

@over_clox has the answer here. They got rid of Wordpad to drive people toward paying for Word.
