I would avoid the hassle. Just download Libre Office. It works fine for free.

Thanks for the tip people.

I have bought my dad Office 2016 for Christmas from Amazon (cost me £10) and it works perfectly.

Got myself a copy for £10 through a Home Use Program , and again it works perfectly !.

<The devil inside me told me to type this> I would have bought the £3.50 licence, and with the change you and your dad could have sat in a pub and had a beer. Also the Pro Plus licence gives you Outlook, Publisher, Access and Skype for Business too

Disregarding what any opinion here, and no matter who you buy it from, or how you buy it, so long as it is MS say it is valid, you are good.

Personally, I use the free LibreOffice. For something free and small and in the past was VERY compatible Abiword from https://www.abisource.com was awesome.

LeeUK on post #56 has it right when he said to download the iso, as Once MS stop supporting a product they usually remove ALL the related material including patches, fixes and questions.

For £10? That doesn't sound like a legit copy.

If they paid £10 then they paid 5p too much.

£9.95 is the standard price (as I remember) for the HUP version of Office .. direct from MS themselves.

I have spent half a day uninstalling office 365 trial, downloading from the amazon link (£29) re-starting uninstalling and re-installing, to find eventually that the activation code is invalid. I have had enough of this and have claimed a refund from amazon, just took a look at sub 4* reviews and it tells me everything I need to know ie dodgy

I have installed apache open office on my new dell windows 10 laptop. Used to have it on windows 7 on another laptop, only used it for opening programmes and it never let me down. I had word on that laptop, the only programme I needed

This apache office is fantastic, a very similar appearance to my old word programme, no bells and whistles that I would never use. Plenty of tutorials on youtube too and free

Yes I know what a Volume Licence is.

I could be a system builder and buy a load of cheap licenses from Microsoft to install Windows and Office. Then I could decide to install Linux instead or not build the systems at all. I then sell the licences off on eBay...
.

This is not what a volume licence key is.


You dont get loads of seperate keys


You get one VOLUME licence key, that can be used to activate many installs


What you are describing is an OEM bundle of licences

Just got back to this and have bought a licence key for Office 2016 from Ebay.


Later this evening or tomorrow I intend to download the new programme, can someone advise whether I need to uninstall my current Office 2007 programme before downloading new software, or will it overwrite old copy?


I will back up documents first.


Thank you

I got this from ebay 2 months ago. I didn't have to uninstall. works perfectly and I'm glad I found this thread

As Stemma says above, just install over the top of your old office. I did this recently when I upgraded from Office 2007 to 2016.

If you have any older Office programs that are not in Office 2016 (Like InfoPath and Groove) then they will be left in a separate start menu folder.
