Upgrading to a new computer

[rvnevada]

My new computer is running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My old computer is running
XP professional. I have Office 2000 professional running on the old computer.

I want to install Office 2007 Professional (upgrade) on the new computer.
Is there any way I can install Office 2007 on the new computer without having
Office 2000 running on it? I understand that Office 2000 may not run
correctly on a 64 bit OS is would be a real mess if I must have it installed
before the upgrade version will work.

By the way I have all the original disks, product keys etc. if that will help.

Thanks to any one who know the answer to this.

Start the install of Office 2007. When asked for a qualifying version, take
the disk out, put in the Office 2000 disk and follow the prompts.

Assuming, that is, that your Office 2000 is a retail version, not OEM.

-- Let me ask a a similar question: I have registered versions of Microsoft
Office 2000 and the 2003 upgrade. Can I install those on a new laptop with
the Vista OS?
Some say yes--the retail store where I'm looking at a new laptop says
no--that I need to buy the 2007 version. I too have the original disks,
product codes for both versions and don't see if a need to buy the new 2007
version now.

Assuming they are not OEMs, yes you can. The salesclerk is looking for a
sale.
