Accessing older version of Office

Question

I have just bought a new lap top which has come with Windows 10.
On my old lap top I had 'Office Home and Student' software - I still have the original CD and product key.

Is there a way I can transfer the software from my old lap top to my new one? (My new one doesn't have anywhere to put a CD in).

Answer 1

Three methods:

1. use USB external CD ROM drive
2. copy your Office Home and Student' software on a Cloud storage, then download it from your new laptop
3. create a share folder on your old laptop, put Office Home and Student' software there, then access to share folder from new laptop.

Answer 3

Yes! You can transfer Office Home and Student to your new laptop using these steps:

Check License Eligibility – Go to your Microsoft account (https://account.microsoft.com) and check if your Office license allows multiple installations.

Uninstall from Old Laptop – If your license allows only one device, uninstall Office from your old laptop.

Download Office on New Laptop – Visit https://www.office.com, sign in with your Microsoft account, and download Office.

Activate with Your Product Key – During installation, enter your original product key from the CD case.

Since your new laptop lacks a CD drive, downloading directly from Microsoft is the easiest method. Let me know if you need further help!
