Can I put Microsoft works suite 2002 on new pc ??

Afternoon,

I've been looking at new pc's and the ones I've been looking at come with window media, I use spreadsheets and write letter occasionaly and was wondering my old pc came with works suite 2002 on 5 discs can I put these onto the new pc or would I have to buy a new set of discs?

Many thanks

    or alternatively just download openoffice, it's a free fully featured suite of office progrms and is compatible with MS Office.

    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • thanks guys it says comes with "works 8.5" included but they said in pc world this didn't have spreadsheets on, but if mine will go on then that's great :):)
