If you have a copy of office 2010 and that's what the trial is then you will have the option to activate an already purchased license. Just open the trial and it gives you that option and follow the on screen instructions.
If you have 2007 or 2003 then you will need to do a full install from the disk.0 -

What version of Windows on your old laptop?
You shouldn't need to take it to a shop to have it put back to factory settings. You should be able to do that yourself.How do I add a signature?0 -

Windows comes with a built-in tool to do this (and other similar things) for you. In 7 it's called Windows Easy Transfer, under System Tools.0 -
