                if (path.ToLower().EndsWith(".doc"))
                {
                    var sourceFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(path);

                    word = (Word.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Word.Application");

                    var doc = word.Documents.Open(path);

                    //var document = word.Documents.Open(filename);

                    string newFileName = sourceFile.FullName.Replace(".doc", ".docx");
                    doc.SaveAs2(newFileName, Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatDocument,
                                     CompatibilityMode: Word.WdCompatibilityMode.wdWord2010);

                    word.ActiveDocument.Close();
                    word.Quit();
                    System.IO.FileInfo getExt = new System.IO.FileInfo(newFileName);
                    fileExt = getExt.Extension;
                    
                }

"Doesn't work" doesn't give anyone enough information to help you. You wouldn't phone a mechanic and say "My car doesn't work, how do I fix it?"

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application winword = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
Document document = winword.Documents.Open(@".docPath");
//Save the document
object filename = @"c:\temp1.docx";
document.SaveAs2(ref filename);
document.Close(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
document = null;
winword.Quit(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
winword = null;
