Run the advisor and it will give you a complete list of the hardware and software in your machine. If you still have access to the internet, go to and download/install the belarc advisor. Also, For whatever reason she tossed the Office case that had the product key, So thats out. I don't think you can do that for free anymore anyway, and she's finally figured 8 out so I'm just going to leave her with the same thing she knows. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? And, no I'm not going to upgrade it to 10. I've never upgraded anything besides 10, So I have no idea how well it works on 8.1 as far as licenses. Turns out her HDD is on its way out, might have something to do with the huge screech she heard the other day and thought "it was a virus attacking my computer and it was screaming for help"Īnyway I ordered an SSD for her, but she mainly uses her computer for MS Office to run my parent's business. It’s just a matter of figuring out the Microsoft-approved method(s) for doing so.Hey guys, My mom called me today because her computer has been running slower than the singer of somewhere over the rainbow to a gym.

With Office 365 Personal or Home, for example, this notion of “deactivation” is simply performed using a web console, and without restrictions or limitations.īut we’re in a transition period now, and I’m sure there are millions of people out there who paid for whatever version of Office and wish to keep using it as they move to new PCs. And sure enough, Office 365 is generally a better deal, especially for those who wish/need to install Office on multiple devices.

But you can in fact uninstall the software and then use it on a different PC, according to Microsoft. So, there’s no formal way to deactivate Office 2013. I purchased Office 2013 … I recently built a PC, and I would like to deactivate my previous install so I can install Office on my desktop. Is this possible? And if so, how do you do it? Customers who upgrade to a new PC may understandably want to move their copy of Microsoft Office to the new PC as well.
