The file (excel) comes to my windows 8.1 over OK, but as a read only!
Can't open it and / or work with it, or save it? Only as read only! How can I use and save it on my 8.1 computer?

Open it, and Save As...
It will then be readble/editable by your newer version of Excel.

When I save the file to C drive I can open it, but again not save it, it says File is read-only.
When I click on file properties it does not show as a read only file, no check mark in read only box.
Why can't I save it to C drive and work with it, same as I used to with Win XP?
Thanks again, Luke
