[Lazarus] How to convert Delphi program with TRichEdit?

I need to port an old Delphi program to FPC/Lazarus and it contains two
TRichEdit components.
When I try to open the form in Lazarus 2.0.12 on Windows 10 with Fpc 3.2.0 I get
an error because the TRichEdit component does not exist....
Is there some non-standard package I could install (from OLPM or similar) in
order to get it working again?
I have a new laptop now and I have no new Delphi version installed (except for
Delphi 7 with the no-nonsense license). I am only using Fpc + Lazarus nowadays.
Another question while I am here:
---------------------------------
The form I have problems with is a special calculation sheet in one single form,
which is part of the source program.
But I only need to port this form into the new Lazarus program so I tried to
create a new program from scratch and intended to replace the default form as
the main form.
But I don't know really how to do this...
So How can I:
1) Replace the main form of a Lazarus program with another form?
or
2) Create a new program in Lazarus where I can specify an existing form as the
main program form.
Either of these will work, but I don't really know how to do any of them.
