Resettlement and reuse of Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 licenses?
Hello
I have a laptop with Windows 7 Pro AO LATAM installed and MS Office 2010 installed.
The OS came installed when the laptop was purchased, and the MS Office was installed later.
I don't have the installation media of the any of them.
What I want is to format my laptop and be able to reinstall the OS and MS Office.
Questions:
(1) how can I get/download the installation media for them?
(2) is it possible to reuse Windows license/activation key?
(3) is it possible to re-use the MS Office license/activation key?
I hope you guys can give me some advice!
Thanks in advance!
(1) how can I get/download the installation media for them?
Where did you get the Microsoft Office if it has been installed? You must have a license for Microsoft Office as well as the key of original product, installation files. If someone simply installed for you, then its not real likely.
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
(2) is it possible to reuse Windows license/activation key?
You can reuse the license on the same computer, but no where else.
(3) is it possible to re-use the MS Office license/activation key?
Only if it is licensed to retail that you have purchased.

Hello
I had bought Windows 8 Pro as part of the upgrade offer in 2012.
My current desktop PC gives signs of imminent failure. So I intend to mount my own PC and all ignoring the old one.
My question is if I can transfer the current licence to the new office.
What is the procedure for the transfer of the Windows 8 Pro and Microsoft Office license to new PC?
Thank you and best regards,
UNNI
Yes, you can transfer the two as long as they are copies of the retail sale and do not come pre-installed on the machine.
To waive the license of the machine, you can just format the machine or uninstall the license of Windows 8.
To proceed to reinstall Windows 8 on the new computer and restart phone.
Please note:
To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.
If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.
You can reinstall of Office 2010 and also reactivate by phone:

Adobe Presenter in Adobe eLearning Suite 2 and Microsoft Office 2010 installation
I need help to install the Adobe Presenter software. I have E-Learning Suite 2 and Microsoft Office 2010. The rest of the complete Installation of E-Learning has been made, including Adobe Presenter. When I navigate to the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Presenter 7 Installer for eLS 2\7.0\en_US files and try to install the adobe_presenter_patch_v701.exe file it asks for a serial number. I enter the serial number of the E-Learning Suite in the box, but she did not accept the serial number.
I did a google search on it and got the below link:
l http://blogs.adobe.com/Captivate/2010/09/MS-PowerPoint-2010-support-in-Adobe-Presenter.htm
I downloaded 2 patches of the viz Adobe Presenter 7.0.1 update link and Adobe Presenter 7.07 below updated and tried to run. Which failed.
http://www.Adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153 & Platform = Windows
Can someone offer you please help in this as to what patches to download and run.
The Microsoft Office installed on my system is a 32-bit.
If you want to use the presenter 7.0.6 (note that it is an Action Script 2 [AS2] application and will not work live Connect, or any other AS3 application), you must follow the steps described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/presenter/kb/install-presenter-7-office-2010.html
If you want to use the presenter 7.0.7 (AS3), it's a stand alone Installer, and previous versions of the presenter must be uninstalled everything first. The steps to install 7.0.7 can be found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/presenter/kb/upgrade-presenter-7-0-6.html

Captivate 5.5 and MS Office 2010
Hello
Can someone tell me if the Captivate 5.5 is MS Office 2010 compatible? Can I publish a project for Word 2010?
Thank you.
Hello
If you are talking about the creation of documents or something like, it works. But you cannot just take a draft and publish it as a Word document like you can a SWF. You must first choose to print, and then choose a model.
See you soon... Rick

installed office 2010, now all icons and programs try to open with "word".
Somehow when I downloaded and run office 2010 from the Microsoft Web site, all my icons on my desktop now have a 'W' on them and try to open with Word, instead of opening with their own program. I tried to change it, but without success. Also, when I go in the beginning and all my programs are listed, they have all the 'W' on them and try to open it with word also. Can not know what to do.

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.
1. what security software is installed?
2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?
Let us try these methods.
Method 1.

Hi Pops1148,
· Is the question not confined with updated Microsoft Office?
Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:
Method 1: You can follow the steps in the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and check if it works.

Method 3: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
