Microsoft Office... or similar

[R-evans]

Is there any free office packs available anywhere? I had office pro before I upgraded to windows 8, but I had to do a system wipe and have lost it and I don't have the email with the product key anymore.

Just wondering if I can get a trial version or something for basic word and excel? Or is there any other software that will work with word docs?

Cheers

Thanks guys, open office doesn't run the thing I wanted it for. I have downloaded the office trial for now.

Just remembered, I have office on my old PC, is there a way to take the product code from that and use it on my new PC?

This. Office web apps.

At least give them a try to see if they do what you need.

Would suggest Libre Office myself however the MS Office web apps is a good shout.

I like the online MS ones but still end up using Libre office, online is fine until your internet goes down and you have to get work done

If its possible to run that pc i would use Belarc Advisor to find the product keys. If you cannot, you may need to slave the drive and use produkey suggested above.

Once you have found the key you can download a backup of office from Here (you have to select which version of office you have the key for)
