How to make my Office genuine?

[Ken A. Dienne]

Hi: It turns out that my Office suite isn't genuine, and now I want to buy a
proper one from Amazon and I'm just wondering: do I need to uninstall the old
suite before I install the new one? Or can I just install 'over' the old one
- so that all my settings remain?

Thanks in advance!

So I guess I need to backup my data file then, since I need to keep all my
emails and contacts? There's no other way to install a new package and keep
the old settings?

A backup of data is allways wise, and should in any case be done on a
regular basis, eg what happens when your drive fails?
Uninstalling Office has no impact on data files, and no impact on the
Outlook Profile
