Installing Office on Replacement Computer

T

traveler

I recently ditched an old laptop (after cleaning up the hard drive) on which
I had installed Office XP. I still have the product key from that purchase,
but not the disk. How can I install Office XP on my new laptop?

I had taken the CDs to Best Buy for re-installation a couple of years ago and
when I called for them, they did not have them. Bottom line is I don't have
them. Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Besides telling you that you are SOL (sorely out of luck) with the
CDs...........how did you acquire Office? Was it preinstalled on the old
laptop?

I purchased and installed Office on the old laptop.

Wouldn't my Product Key still be registered in my name so that Microsoft
knows that I am the legal owner of that particular product?

thanks!

You will need some sort of proof of purchase tho. The product key may be
enough but you need to talk to them. This will not be free but won't cost
near what a new version does.
