Under Office 2007 this had a drop down list of older versions of word for backward comparability.

I don't want to save a file to a different location or a different name.

As stated. I want to save it as an older version of windows. That is unless everyone on this planet all have the latest version of Microsoft Office.

As stated when I used a save as, I was given the CHOICE of saving it as an older version like office 2013,2010 etc.

There is no such thing as a save to an older version of Windows; all there is is different Word formats. A document saved by Word 2016 in its native format (.docx) is readable by every Word version from 2007 on and, when saved in the .doc format is readable by every Word version from 97 on; the only thing you might have difficulty with is if your document uses features introduced in a later version than you're supporting. But then, changing the save format wouldn't help anyway.
