As long as you have the production key, then you can install the program and activate. Or, we can install Office 2007 Pro into the machine as a complimentary upgrade.

I purchased a used laptop, with microsoft office and windows 7 installed on it

I was able to transfer all the files I chose, including past TurboTax Files. My new computer included newer Office package, so did not transfer that. This is a GREAT, EASY way to transfer to a new laptop/desktop all of your old 'stuff'. Was very easy for this (me) non-computer guy to use. I used it for both my files and my wife's files from one desktop to two different laptops. Hope this helps, Wayne M.

I agree that it will work. if there is a BIG difference in hardware between the desktop and the laptop, Microsoft MAY tell you your version of Windows is unregistered. As long as you have your original disc or your key, re-registering will not be a problem.

Sorry but they (HP) did not load any Microsoft office products on this item and we have not broken the seal on the box to load anything. It comes with the operating system by itself. Happy New Year!

I just saw that it's Windows 7 you want to go to. It's the same procedure basically. You need to get your data off that system if possible. You'll also need a Windows 7 install disk.

MS office was not loaded on. You can get it for another $99. Luckily I had access to 2010. I'm not happy with the computer since I've had it.

I had to install all of Microsoft Office (that I purchased). There may have been a trial offer, but I didn't even check because I know there wasn't any permanent version, so I just installed what I had.

Windows 8 is installed. You need to purchase windows office separately. I had to purchase Office 2010 because an updated Office was not available at the time. Get Office pre-installed if you can as it was a pain installing it.

Yes, it will give you the option to upgrade from a previous Windows edition (which will let you keep all your documents and personal media) in the installation menu. You may also wipe your hardrive and make a fresh install as well.

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

Microsoft's Office with "Word" has never been included with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is purchased individually as a separate product. Back 2 or 3 years ago MS office was included in most new laptop and PC purchases but this has also stopped being true. What most new laptops and PC's offer is Microsoft Office starter. This is a reduced functionality Word and Excel with advertising. Pretty much useless. There is "Open Office" which is free, fully functional and compatible to Microsoft office. Just Google around for it, you'll find it. There is also Google business apps which is finally beginning to cut into Microsoft's market share, however... it is cheap, but not free. Good Luck!

Yes, you will have to buy and install Word, Excel, and/or any other software applications you plan to use. This PC comes with a Windows Operating System installed, but a Windows Operating System does not include Microsoft Office Applications like Word and Excel.

It does not come with Microsoft Office. This would need to be purchased separately. It does come with the basic Microsoft Works and lots of "free" software from HP. Microsoft Office traditionally does not come with a new pc or laptop.

As long as you have a clean Win 7 copy, sure. Can you downgrade win 8 that's on it to win 7? No. They push out new systems with the new operating system to further that gen of software

According to the license you can transfer it to a new machine (deactivating the old machine) and even sell it to one person as long as you give all the documentation to the buyer. http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx
