Microsoft Office

Bullet

Luka Modric
Hi all - for the last few years I had a laptop at home with Microsoft Office embedded into it.

I got a new laptop and naively thought I could use the product key from the first laptop to download and install it on the new laptop.

I've just found out I can't do this; if Office is bought with a laptop it is embedded and can't be downloaded again.

Similarly Office 2013 can only be used on one device.

Office 365 can be used on 5 devices, which is probably why I got confused, since we use that at work.

Microsoft say 2013 is £70 and O365 is £80 but I really don't need it for much, just household bills and stuff in XL, my CV in Word, nothing in PPT really...

So I guess my free options are to illegally download a copy somehow or to use Open Office if that still exists, or something similar... anyone got any advice on what to use?

I won't be doing complex XL tasks at home, I do enough of that at work.
 
Oh yeah... I also need it for Outlook as I have some huge .pst archive files I want access to...

Thanks in advance guys
 
Seems like Google Docs, Open Office, Libre Office are options for XL Word PPT but they don't mention Outlook... why not, is Outlook not part of Office???

Can I open a pst archive using the native Mail App in Windows 10 I wonder...
 
If you do go the "iffy" route then at least use a proper MSDN iso to be sure there is no tampering etc..

(Getting a key is your own route, plenty of activation options out there.)

I'd link up 2013 but seems not to be working at moment.
