So go on Dell website, search for your model number, go to the support section > drivers > then download (at minimum) the lan drivers. Stick the lan driver on a usb, then when you go to reinstall windows, once it's done stick the usb in and install the lan driver. Then you will have internet connection again

If you're not a power user (not into macros, or very specific formatting, or other deep stuff), you could install a free office package: LibreOffice is pretty good. It can read and write MS Office file formats. Some more unusual features of MS Office don't get imported exactly how they might appear in Office itself, hence me asking if you're a power user.

 

Another "problem" with LibreOffice is the user interface: things are laid out slightly differently to MS Office, not radically, but it could get annoying if you're very used to Office.

 

If it has to be Microsoft Office, student editions are much cheaper. You need to be a student though.
