Which MS Office do you have? If you have a Product Key those programs are available online to download. If you have to use a torrent be sure to read the comments and avoid getting one with a crack or anything else added. After install just insert the Product Key.

The PC maker may have provided downloads for them on the Applications and Drivers disk, or check on the Support Downloads webpage for your model PC for software. You can extract these from HP Recovery Disks using https://www.sevenforums.com/installat...tml#post488270

Greg, that's the problem, it's a user's pc and the office was pre-installed, the photo imaging application was on a disk but it was 2006 since last in use and has no disk anymore so that's the problem. If i had the product keys I could easly download but that is not the case.

You can also save a Macrium backup image (or Acronis if you have WD or Seagate HD as it comes free) and run an in-place Upgrade to Win7 since these restrict you from a Clean Reinstall until you replace them. https://www.sevenforums.com/software/...e-macrium.html

Almost any installer can be found online with a search. It's not illegal to use a torrent if you own the program with a Product Key. Just be sure to get a clean copy without a crack which will trigger AV and is illegal.

What Office do you have? There are public links on Dell's site to Office 2010.
