Upgrading to Office home and student 2010

I purchased Office home and student 2007 a few months ago....It was my understanding that I would be able to upgrade it to 2010 free when it became available.  How do I get the free upgrade?

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

  • Windows 8 and MS Office Home and Student 2010 Compatibility...

    I am looking at buying the HP P7-1414 desktop.  I currently own MS Office Home and Student 2010.  Will my MS be compatible with the Widows 8 on the P7?

    Hello celliottii!
    Welcome to the forum! That’s a great question. While I was pretty confident that Office 2010 would be compatible with Windows 8, I still wanted to make sure for you. I checked with Microsoft and verified that it indeed is compatible. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
    Thanks for posting!

  • I just bought MS Office Home and Student 2010 to replace Starter version but I can't find it and Starter is still there.

    I have an HP Pavilion g7-1070us Notebook PC Running Windows 7. I came with Office Starter preloaded. Today I bought Office Home and Student 2010 and downloaded it online (or so I think). Now I can't find the 2010 version and the Starter version is still on my computer just as before. I contacted MicroSoft online and they suggested I either I install Internet Explored 9 or contact my browser (Foxfire) for help.

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office home and student 2010

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple, i'm trying to insatl Microsoft office home and student 2010 onto my mac but it keeps saying "you can't open the application "setup.exe" because microsoft windows does not support the application"
    could anyone help?
    Kind regards

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you are trying to install Office 2010 on OS X. That's not possible because that version is for Windows, so you have to install Windows on your Mac. As you are going to use it only for Microsoft Office, download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows on a virtual machine.
    Another option is to purchase Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

    Open Control Panel --> Programs and Features, remove any Office program you find. If you have problem when remove these programs, you can use the Fix-it Utility in the following support artcile:

  • Office Home and Student 2010 Install problems with a Key Code Err..

    I had to install a new hard drive, lost everything..So I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional ..
    I own a the 2010 Home and Student CD bought at the Microsoft store...Doesn't come with Outlook...
    So I ordered the Home and Business 2010 disc with Service Pack 1 Included, this has 2010 outlook ...It loaded and worked fine up to the point I had to replace my Drive with New Windows 7 Pro...
    Everything loaded find, but every time I try and use it, its acts like it is caught in some kind of loop...It keep trying install and configure, then ask for my Key Code every time, sort of like a OLMAP132.Dll err...I did manage to make it work once, I even
    got back the test email from Microsoft after setting up Outlook....Then when I rebooted the system, this same loop action started ...
    I have uninstalled this at least 4 times, searched for anything with ties to Microsoft office, and uninstalled it..Then did a New Clean Install...Still getting this key Code question every time I open up a Office program....So, I am saying without a doubt,
    2010 Office Home and Student and Business WILL NOT RUN on Windows 7 professional ......If you have any idea how to fix this..Please respond with facts on how to repair this please....

    Greta,,,After down loading ( Off Cat ) tools...I saved that program...However, there is another major problem with Your Instructions I ran into...It seems I'm not the trusted source to change files such as the Mapi32.dll files..So I was unable to attempt
    your repair ...However I have found instructions for the task, but it seems very complicated for sure.. Here are the instructions, and I  would like for you and maybe a co-worker to check these.. before I make any changes in system..
    How to Change the Trusted Installer name...
    1. Right Click on the File Or directory.
    2.Click On properties, on the Right Click menu.
    3.Click On "" Security "" tab
    4.Click On " Advanced" Button on the bottom.
    5.In the advance Security Dialog Window, Click on "" Owner "" tab
    6.Here you will able to see the Current Owner ( ie: Trusted Installed )
    7. To take owner ship of the object, click on the Edit button, Give permission to UAC , the highlight the user name in the " Change Owner To" box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Then Click " OK " to finish the process.
    8.Back in the Advanced Security Settings Window , You will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
    9.Click the ""OK "" and exit this window.
    10. Click "'OK"" again, to exit completely from the Properties window..
    11. Repeat Step 1 to 4 to open the object's Properties Window again...
    12.Back in Object's Properties window, click on the edit button , and confirm the UAC elevation request.
    13. Highlight the Administrators in the " group of users names"" box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for the object doesn't exist, Click on.."" Add"" button, and type in the user name or
    group name desired into the "" Enter Object names to select ( can use Everyone as user Name)" box and finish off by clicking on the "" OK""
    14. In the permissions for Administrators box below ( or any other user name or group name you choose). click on ""Full Control"" under the ""Allow"" column to assign full access rights control permission to Administrator's

    My Microsoft home and student 2010 key isn't working. I am entering the key that was printed off the internet from Microsoft when I purchased it off the Microsoft website. I also had to restart my computer, when I went to the Microsoft website to download
    the program it verified the key and said it was valid. I've read that it can only be put on 3 computers but I only have one. I also have not shared the code with anyone.

  • Office Home and Student 2010

    I purchased a new laptop and received a produce key for Office Home and Student.  During the trial version I had access to Outlook.  Once the trial version expired and I entered the product key I received when I purchased my laptop but no longer have access to Outlook. So, I guess I have to purchase Outlook and Publisher separately?? 

    True, I've heard of that. Unless you saved the email server side, the items are locked until you purchase. I suggest contact 1-800-Microsoft as that is a 'feature' of their specific software.
    Since importing your emails is important to you, for the future I would suggest using an IMAP compatible service. A free, well known one is gmail.com. This will allow you to keep a copy of your emails server-side in the event of a system crash or other event. Outlook is compatible with it.

  • MS Office Home and Student 2010

    I have happily used MS Office on my Windows 7 laptop for past 3 years. It has been upgrading automatically.
    Today I found myself unable to use Excel & Word files. The message that came up was:
    "MS Office Home & Student 2010 cannot verify the license for this product. You should repair the office program by using Control Panel".
    The Control Panel in Windows 7 has no such repairing facility. What am I supposed to do?

    Hello,
    To repair your Office installation, please go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features >
    Click the Office program you want to repair, and then click Change... For more information, please refer:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
    If repair didn't fix the problem, please try to re-enter the product key again to check if it helps.

    This article from the  Microsoft knowlege base has a few different ways to uninstall it.  There is also a  Microsoft Fixit utility specifically for Office 2010.
