  • Well, I was browsing on fleabay and purchased Microsoft office for MAC
    for£5.50 . It works .

    What I'll do regarding the pc is await the code that should hopefully be sent for windows 10 . Then I'll download from fleabay once again a version of Microsoft for Windows . Then all's well in theory.
    Will report back tomorrow .
    Thanks
  • Just thought I'd give an update :
    I have decided to ask for a refund from itzoo .
    Why? They sold me a lap top that doesn't work out of the box .
    I had to find out on google how to get it to function . The windows 10 sticker on which they showed on video how to access windows 10 with code, doesn't work.

    I sent a couple of emails yesterday and was told a tech person would get back to me. They did not . That was from Darren.
    I asked Darren to let me return it and they fix it and return to me, at no cost to me. Darren replied that tech team are busy .

    I finally asked for a refund explaining that the laptop is in the box,and I asked for returns label . No response .

    Shame really , as they were recommended here .

    I paid via PayPal , and have never had a dispute to raise.
    Hope it doesn't come to that ..
  • I phoned and spoke to Kathryn . No warmth there .
    I was told that dpd will send a label sometime today .
    TBH , I half expected to be directed to the tech team . I'm disappointed as I was trying to get to grips with it . I even created an outlook account .
    I may be better off using the Microsoft office programme for Mac that I got for £5.50 .

    Oh, well..
