What version of Office do you have?
Here's a site where people discuss whether Office 2000 will work on Windows 7.
***Is Microsoft Office 2000 compatible with Windows 7***

Office 2007 apparently works fine with Windows 7.
***Windows 7 & Microsoft Office***

Apparently Office 2003 works as well.
***Installing Office 2003 in Windows 7***

If your version of Office came with the old laptop, it may not be transferrable. Do you have an Office CD?

I believe Office (the retail versions) are only allowed on a single PC at a time - you may be able to transfer it to another, but they definitely won’t allow you to run it on 2 PC's.

If it's an OEM version (like Dell) it may be tied to the physical hardware (I don't know for sure, all my Office products are MSDN).

Hi, Jenny!

I purchased Office 2003 for my WinXP computer, but I installed it on the new computer that I purchased last September and it ran perfectly under Vista and it also runs perfectly under my 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Home & Student 2007 version (full versions of Word, Excel, Power Point & One-Note) can be run on up to 3 home PCs at one time. It is what I bought last year and have it on mine, my wife's & my oldest son's computer. It is something new that they started last year. Surprised me, because before I always had to take it off of my old computer and move it to my new one when buying a new computer.


Happy Gamming All,

Good to know - I wasn't aware they'd relaxed their policy. thumbsup
