Hi Alan, Thank you for your response. I am using a Windows 10 laptop (64 bits), which I bought earlier this year - meaning that it should be compatible with the software.
I checked the first link (https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html) but I still don't understand what needs to be installed - sorry, the installation of this software is not intuitive to someone like me. I have SPSS on my laptop but the license is about to expire and I can't afford to renew it. According to the GNU page, it looks like I might have to install some binaries for Windows. The Binaries/Windows portion has to links: Windows: installers <http://pspp.awardspace.info/> or all downloadable files <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows/files> I selected "installers" which takes me to the page: http://pspp.awardspace.info . Could I install PSPP_2020-09-05_daily_64bits <https://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows/files/2020-09-05/pspp-20200905-daily-64bits-setup.exe/download> ?
