The free version is 5GB, and that doesn't include Office, Excel, and PowerPoint.
That's just software though and works on pretty much anything, Windows 8 or Windows 10, OSX (Apple computers), iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, Chromebook. Linux isn't officially supported, but it works as well.
Really, you've been in the same space for six months. I get that a lot of people don't need a computer on a daily basis but having one that works regardless of who makes it or what it is. I'd probably be looking at Chromebook.

I have the bolded (the individual option, not the family option), and I like it. I have the apps installed on my purchased 2018 HP Spectre 15” 2-in-1, my purchased 2019 3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9, my purchased 2016 MacBook Air 13.3”, and a purchased 2017 iPhone SE that I use re a number of features, but not as a phone (it’s locked to Straight Talk, and I got it new for $99 or $129, never intending to use it as a phone). Microsoft allows up to five devices (and the same five per person on the family plan you mentioned). I ordered a new unlocked 256GB iPhone SE 2020 from Best Buy that is set to arrive in a few days (on Wednesday), and I will use that as a phone from day one, and that will be my fifth device. The only one of the four devices so far where I experience ‘slowness’ re using the apps is on the first gen iPhone SE. If a person thinks they may only use the apps 6 months a year or less, you can also choose to be billed $9.99 per month. Re the months you’d have ithe billing turned off, you don’t lose anything you already have stored, you just can’t add/make any changes.
