Can I copy Microsoft Office 2010 from my laptop to a USB key? Is this possible? And if this is possible could someone please give me a step by step as to what this entails?

Thanks for any help in advance.
Sincerely,
Anna

If it's installed on the hard drive, no

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
I guess having a product key number would not make any difference in getting
the 2010 Microsoft Office on to a USB key from my laptop hard drive?

Are you wanting to put it on a USB key so you can install it on another PC?

No, I want to put it on the same laptop using a USB key because my daughter is going to clean/wipe everything off of my laptop including Microsoft Office 2010. So after my laptop is clean I could put Microsoft Office 2010 from my USB key back on to the same laptop without losing it. Or so I'm hoping.

Unless it''s the install file no

If I understand you correctly you don't need a USB for this.

If you have a valid Product Key for Microsoft Office 2010 you can download the suite from Microsoft's web site or use the installation CD. After your daughter has cleaned your computer, you re-install Office 2010. Of course, you'll lose any and all customization you've made to the office suite.

NOTE: Prior to launching this operation you might want to back-up all your documents onto a USB of sufficient size. Go to Settings>Update & Security>Backup.

You get the install file for Office 2010 here:

Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions.

Get the installation file from the internet and use the licence key from your previous vendor. Not sure whether that licence key will work on 2 laptops.
