How to reinstall Office 2010?

GingerWarrior

My laptop had a hard-drive failure, and it's now been fixed. I've lost all my programmes, including Office 2010.

How do I go about reinstalling it, if I don't know what the Product Key is. I can see that all outlook.pst & archive.pst have been recovered - and the email with the key is in there! How do I get my Office 2010 back?

Do you have an office 2010 disk ??

You will need to open your outlook pst on a secondary computer with working office 2010 to recover the product key.

Who recovered your data, if it was an it repair company its pretty shoddy they didnt offer to reinstall it for you

Hi as you have the product key email click on this link to the microsoft office website to download the set up files you will need to enter your 25 digit product key http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/microsoft-office-2010-backup-FX101853122.aspx
hope this helps you :beer:

Would downloading a trial version of Office 2010 work, and then I can import my old Outlook emails into into, get the product key, and then activate that way?

that would work !

Without Googling, I'm pretty sure there are non-Microsoft .pst viewers around, but cannot comment on their effectiveness.

And as Spud17 rightly says there are .pst viewers try this one http://www.outlookpstviewer.com/ sorry I didn't see that the product key email was in that file !

I'm fairly sure you don't need the key to Install it. Once installed you can import your pst and find your key!

Well have downloaded a trial version, and it's asked for a key which has been emailed to me (have picked it up on my phone email), and hoping that once I've got that installed I can then import the old Outlook.pst and find the key!
