My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.

You forgot to press the turbo button!
And now it takes 12 second for a single character to appear on the screen!
(Pressing Turbo button actually slowed down the CPU AFAIK).
If you had used the dos version of word it should have been fine
