Thanks Joe for your message.

Laptop is ok, the question is if I can use the same Windows user and password on two different laptop with two different Office licenses.

 

Old laptop with Windows 8 and Office 2013.

New laptop with Windows 10 and office I bought on ebay, office 2019 365.

 

Both laptops has same Windows user.

 

Thanks

Yes, you can do that, because the old laptop is not running a cloud version of Office, so it will continue being happy with that existing installation.

    Joe Stocker  Thank Joe.

     

    So for the new laptop, would you recommend the 365 or regular office 2019?

      I recommend the 365 version because it gets security updates streamed automatically every 30 days and if you don't have a few hundred dollars up front, the low monthly price for a home user is pretty affordable. There is a great article comparing the differences here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-s-the-difference-between-microsoft-365-and-office-2019-ed447ebf-6060-46f9-9e90-a239bd27eb96
