It sounds like you updated to Catalina rather than High Sierra. On Catalina 32-bit apps will no longer run, you were warned of this when you upgraded to Catalina. Office 2011 will no longer run. Office 2016 has a free update to 64-bit. Otherwise you must purchase either Office for Mac 365 or Office for Mac 2019.

Look into the Free LibreOffice, it handles MS Office files…
Apple macOS (Mac OS X)
The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on a Apple macOS computer are as follows:
• LibreOffice 6.3.x: macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher
• LibreOffice 6.2.x: macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher
• Intel processor
• 512 MB RAM
• Up to 800 MB available hard disk space
• 1024x768 graphic device with 256 colors (higher resolution recommended)
It is a recommended best practice to back-up your system and data before you remove or install software.
Notes:
• For certain features of the software - but not most - Java is required. Java is notably required for Base.
• Due to an issue, there are the following restrictions with Java: on macOS 10.10 and newer, JRE isn't found, JDK is required
• LibreOffice 4.3 can still run on OS X 10.6+, but please understand that this support ended when 4.3 was retired on May 27, 2015.

Best of luck with your transition to Windows. Don't forget that when using Windows if you upgrade the OS some of your old apps will no longer work. Office 2011 is no longer supported by Microsoft so when you switch environments you better know how you are going to continue using Office 2011.
The solution is simple: buy an up-to-date version fo the software. Or if you don't want to do that, revert back to the older OS. It's not difficult. No need for a tantrum.
We're all other end users here. We don't care if you switch.
What upgrade process? You say High Sierra is the problem. Except, Office 2011 works just fine in that OS.
