Can I easily load currently owned software (like MS Office or SnagIt) for which I have full software CD's + registration key?)

MS Office should upload with no problem, don't know about snagit but I have installed other software without a hitch.

This laptop is equivalent to our computers in the office. We bought two as extras for summer interns. Works perfectly, very easy to set up, add software and use.

Sorry about that ! You could run install but it will only register on one computer. They nail you over $200.0 for a two computer software.

Can I use this cd/dvd drive to install software such as Office to an Aser netbook?

Unless there is a special offer running it doesn't come with it...But since it's full Windwos 8 you can load any version of Office to it. You will need to get a micro USB adapter though if you want to use an external CD drive if you want to load from media.

Yes. You may have to download updates etc but the package includes the software CD.

Not sure you need to install software to run this from a small cd, so my guess is it wont

It'l do whatever you want it to do. Just be sure to load all the apps you need, if you don't have the disc.

If the license for your software didn't expire you can install the software on your new machine and use that license code. If not you'll have to buy new software. You can find it for $22-$25, surf around a bit.

Ann: Unfortunately this laptop does not have a CD drive to load software, however there is a slot for 9.5mm cd drive if you want to buy one separately. You can also do what I do which is use an external cd drive. This laptop, just like almost every laptop does not contain a permanent version of word, it does however contain a MS office starter pack which is good for like 30 days. As far as I know you should be able to buy and install a copy of MS office digitally (from an online download). Otherwise, if you want to save some money, download open office, it is free and contains a word processing program that operates just like word and is completely compatible with MS word. Hope it helps, if you have other questions, let me know.

Sure, if you have a license for the software. It comes with Open Office which can be installed at no cost

Yes you can. The software does less that some of the others, but it is beautifully simple to get operating and it served all my needs [to the present time].

Dj, you can do this as long as you have an image on a USB drive or a windows 7 install disc available as well as a product key, of course.

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

I read somewhere that you can have a key only if you buy an Office license. The alternative is to uninstall the existing one and download & install a trial version of Office 2007 from Microsoft site. There is another alternative: You can download Office 2010 Beta. For the present it has no limitations and absoutely free, probably till the Beta lasts.

You can only install the software on one computer. if you have another computer, you'll have to purchase another copy
