Hello
I am trying to download the 64 bit MS Office Home and Student 2010 and found a page with a questionable download which states , "32/64-bit, delivered via electronic distribution."
Does that mean the download can discern between the need for 32 and 64 and i do not have to go further to select.
32 bit does not work.
Does anyone know my best way to get this download either as a downoad to the pc or as an iso file. I have the product key and hope I can get the office I paid for when I migrate from Win 7 to 8 with a clean install. Office came preinstalled in my Dell who won't talk unless you pay. Should i be at dell or MS?
Thank you
Peter

If Office came on your Dell originally then you should of gotten a CD/DVD disc along with your computer for Office. Or there is a utility included to make a disc of the installed software.
If it was the starter version with limited functionality then there is no disc or any way to save that version for reinstall. Also the key for that version will not work with any other version of Office, Home/Pro/whatever. Basically that is a Teaser to get you to Upgrade to a Full version of Office.
Hello
Someone was kind enought to send me what they thought was an iso of word which turned out to be a .exe. I did not know it was .exe till I saw it on the desktop.
I downloaded the .exe for 8 minutes to desktop. When I upgrade to Win 8 I will lose the file, obviously.
Is there some way I can save it to a flashdrive for example so when I actually do install Win 8, I will be able eto install it from the flashdrive or that not possible?
If it is possible i could keep it for future downoads as it is hard to find.
Please comment and thank you

I would not open and or run that .exe file. More then likely it is counterfeit or a virus of some type. To my knowledge Word is no longer offered as a stand alone program. It comes with Office and that is the only way to get it, To buy MS Office of one version or another. That is the newer versions.
But if you feel the need yes you can copy it to a flash or some other type of external drive. Just open Computer or Win Explorer and copy it mto the external.
I am not interested in just Word.
I bought MS Office 2010 Home and Student that came preinstalled with my Dell.
I tried the 32 bit version and it does not work.
Sites I have found do not state 64 and when you use them you find they are 32.
I paid for MS Office Home and Student when I bought the pc - it was an extra cost. Why should I not be able to dowenload and executable just as though I had a disc?
I scanned it with two machines and it is clean.
My question is,"Can I 'send to' from desktop to a cd so that when I have converted from Win 7 to Win 8, I will be able to double click the disc and install Office"? Or is it better to download the file again directly to the disc?

Like I said IF it came Pre-Installed on your Dell it also came with the CD/DVD disc/s to reinstall it. Dell is not allowed to Sell Office without supplying Reinstall discs. The Key you have where did you get it? It must of came with the computer on a sleeve for the reinstall discs.
Never bought Office from a PC maker as I don't care for the fact that all OEM software can only be reinstalled on the original computer it came on. So I buy mine as Retail or as of Late MSDN/Technet subscription.
If you did not get any disc then contact Dell. Or as stated before there is a Dell Utility to CREATE the system disc for your computer. That will included the disc/s needed to Reinstall your version of MS Office.
Dell made a point of telling me there would be no disc when I got the pc. They did supply an os disc(only) and gave me the product key in case I needed to recover or reinstall Office.
They did the same with my laptop, giving me a prod key. The problem was finding a site from which to download the 64 bit Office. I tried 32 bit which does not work.
For both the desktop and the laptop the only discs issued were Roxio and the os one.
So I have two different prod keys for each pc but the 64 Office site is hard to find. I had success once at MS by using the trial but MS balked then allowed it. I was told to use the manuf(Dell) site where it is supposed to reside for clean instalations.

>>I am glad I was reading the thread again. I am extremely grateful for the file but it was an exe file not iso. I coud not burn it.
Can I save it to disc and run it from there as an exe to install in win 8 once I clean this nachine and install win 8.
I was not sure if I sent it from my desktop to the disc would it still install on Win 7 or 8? This way I coud keep a disc for future installations.
Or should I download it again directly to disc and bypass the desktop. I have not yet moved from 7 to 8 but all will be gone with a clean install.

If it's an .exe and not an .iso then just back it up with your other User files before reinstalling. This is what the modern Downloads folder is for, since we can obtain most installers previously on disk as .exe's from the software vendor (HP, etc) site.
In this case someone here was nice enough to provide it for you, so I would save it along with the Product Key in a Notepad file, permanently.
I am extremely grateful, beleieve me.
I do not understand 'user files'.
If this pc is going to be formatted for the upgrade, shouldn't I save the location to external or removable media like a disc?
May I ask, I have the file downloaded to desktop. Can I just click" send to" and have it saved on a cd or do I need to use a dvd and do something different?
Once I know this I can use it for future Office installations.
Thank you

Believe me I am trying. I will be formatting this pc.
I have a link in my inbox for Office.
When I click on it, it takes me to the file.
If I click on the file it will install Office.
So I should copy the link to Word and save it it to disc?
It asks for usb or mastrered - which would I use?
This way I would have it when needed. Please correct me where necessary.
