I lost my Office Home and Student version and want it back on the same computer
I had Office 2010 on an older laptop. When I upgraded the operating system, I lost my Office 2010 Home and Student version. It indicates on the “Office Product Key Card” that it’s for 1 preloaded PC only. This is still the same computer that it was initially installed on. How can I reinstall it without a disk or is this not possible?
Totally bummed out
I probably should have expected this to happen eventually. Been using MS office for longer than I can recall. Most recent is Office 2010 pro which my former client installed when I was consulting so I could be on same version since I was on 2007, they allowed me to keep when I had to leave due to wife’s relocation since I continued to do some remote work for them. But then medical issues, surgeries, and forced retirement hit and the cost to upgrade is just too high. So now into full retirement my monthly income is only enough for the bare minimum and I’m stuck with Office 2010 at EOL. It’s really a great thing MS caters to the education community with free or low cost deals. But I was an engineer with no ties to education. Meanwhile, I feel they have completely abandoned the retiring boomer generation that has made them wealthy and the powerhouse they are today. We are retiring and some of us have hit hard times. Guess it’s time to look at open source!
