IT Peoples, MS Office 2010

Post by Grandpa's Spells »

I downgraded a Windows 8 machine to Windows 7, and have a valid key for MS Office Home & Business 2010. I can't find installation files on the Internet, however. Anybody know where I can get them?
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

If that doesn't work, send me a PM and we'll talk about 'backup copies'.

Shaf, have you tried LibreOffice or OpenOffice?

Compatibility is great most of the time (save your files in Office format e.g. .doc), and totally free.

iWork FTW! Almost 100% compatibility with M$ Office, FREE, runs on iOS and OSX and the web version is identical to the desktop and mobile platforms.

You do lose formatting when saving as Word files though.
