Using Office 2007 (which is no longer supported)

[lynnwrites]

I know there are new versions of Office but my laptop just died and I had to get a new one. I tried to install my Office 2007. I have the disk and the key but when I try to download I get an error message saying "support for the product you are trying to download has ended. Please refer back to the main page for a list of supported products."

I don't want to buy a newer version when my old version works perfectly. Can anyone help with a way to download?

Thanks

What version of Windows are you running on the new laptop?

You may be out of luck...

You might consider Office 365. Subscription based and you are allowed 5 (five) installations.

About $120 (US) per year. Monthly or less expensive annual payments.

Look at the link "Chose your Office".

I have been using the subscription based version for over two years or so. 5 installs, amongst the family.

There are free office like applications available: e.g., Libre Office.

Just a matter of what trade-offs you are willing to make.

Did not (and still do not) like the concept of software as a service.

However, it has worked out well and has been relatively pain free.

what you can do is all so call up microsoft see if they can install the software for you.

I get that I can buy a the 365 but the 2007 worked perfectly on my old laptop which was also Windows 10. However, I think it was installed before the Windows 10 updates.

Install Windows 7. Install Office 2007. Upgrade to Windows 10.
