I have ms office 2010 student that was pre installed on my toshiba netbook.
I don't use it, so is it possible to uninstall it to a portable drive and then load it onto a desktop where it may be used?
If it can be done what files would need to be copied?##I also notice it 'works' with click to run.

If you need some decent office software on another pc I recommend Libre Office which is a free office suite that can be setup to save and open with MS defaults.

I use this all the time and would never waste my money buying MS Office.0 -
You can't 'copy' programs. You need to reinstall it from the relevant media onto the PC, using a valid licence key.No free lunch, and no free laptop
